FIRST TIME GETTING HATE π₯³ππ i feel like ive officially made it as a radqueer <33
anyways, usually i would just ignore this but i kinda wan2 add my piece (again, lol) and actually expand on my pevious post about transautistic folks.
I'm cis autistic, im guessing you missed that key detail in my post. when i was 13 i would have autistic meltdowns where i would dissociate, screem, and cry for hours into the morning, in my parents bed as they soothed me. at 14 i would collapse in front of the school doors and beg them not to let me go. one time i had a good day, my parent walked me in, and my principal cornered me in the hallway and told me i was old enough to walk myself in. at 15, i finally transferred schools, to a school where nearly every kid has an IEP, i LOVED it, but i couldn't go. i was thrown into burnout, i was bed ridden for weeks on and off.
im chrono 16 in less than a month, im finally getting a diagnosis, i just failed 2 classes, i know damn well that i still have not faced the worst, but does that make me a victim? no, it makes me incredibly proud to be autistic. I am full of pride for my disability, and i want others to see the light in this disorder. i love every single transautistic person out there, because they are making our disorder known, and they are dedicated to understanding and speading awareness for our disorder.
yes, i say our, because i will not be gatekeeping a term just because i had a horrible experience with it. that would be victimization. i will not spead hate on anyone who has a better experience than myself, because that is victimization. autistic folk have suffered long enough, and if someone wants to call themselves autistic, pick up the traits, live as an autistic person, and spread awareness for their self made disability? have fun with it? power to them. we have suffered long enough, its time that non-cisautistic people started speaking up about our disorder.
