We all say “die mad about it” a lot but y’know what?
I really WILL die mad about all the unacknowledged ASD and ADHD women in the world.
I really WILL die mad about the girls who were forced to learn masking from a really young age and are now consequently almost completely incapable of sharing their problems with others or asking for/accepting help even though they sure as shit know when they can’t handle something themselves.
I really WILL die mad about girlfriends and wives and mothers who are called shitty human beings when all they really needed for drastic improvement in their lives was just a SMIDGEN of understanding or accommodation from their partners/families/friends.
I really WILL die mad about people who were written off as simple anxiety or hormone cases when really it was a mixture of trauma and exceedingly intelligent observation skills.
I really WILL die mad about people who were denied appropriate tutoring/therapy/habit adjustment learning as kids purely because they weren’t physically hyperactive like some of their male classmates or didn’t have loud, violent outbursts and externalized meltdowns.
I really WILL die mad about not just the girls who struggled to get through high school but also the ones who were academically okay or above average so everyone around them assumed that they were normal. (this includes the folks who finished uni but did so at an incredible cost to their overall well-being)
I really WILL die mad about autism misconceptions that are already hard to fight anyway but are even worse when it comes to gendering.
