I’m so sick of how ableist the world is. It’s like you have to “grow up” immediately and mental problems don’t suffice for having a slower reaction and or harder time being an adult. Being diagnosed with autism and Complex PTSD at the same time was like a brick to the head and yet in this shitty world people act like being on the spectrum or having mental problems doesn’t stop you from contributing to society. News flash; some of us are really struggling to be adults because of our past mental problems and new mental problems. Mental illness doesn’t just go away (though it can be treated and toned down but it still has it’s shitty days) and neither does Autism. Autism is part of who you are. People need to stop acting like we’re being self centered for still living with our parents, not having sex, not doing Neurotypical tradition life shit. People follow this mentality of doing everything the “traditional” way. Move out, get a job, have a family etc etc. People act in the typical “boomery” fashion and go on about moving out at eighteen. I could barely get out of bed as an eighteen year old, I can barely get out of bed now! I wish society would fucking change and be kinder to Neurodivergent and or Mentally ill people instead of forcing us to cater to their shitty traditional rushed way of life.
