autistic & badass

Remember, autism parents, when you try to silence autistic adults you are saying it’s ok for people to silence your child in the future.

Every time you are verbally abusive to me, you are giving someone else permission to treat your kid like shit in the future.

So think about how you want your child treated when they’re my age before you start with the asshattery.

Professionals always assume autism is my biggest problem. It’s annoying.

Ugh. Story of my life right now. :-/

Mental illness Catch-22

nobody-nowhere:

Talk openly and honestly about your struggles: get told you are an “attention whore,” you just want attention and pity.

Lie, downplay it, try to remain optimistic: get told you are glamorizing your mental illness, you are in denial of how sick you really are.

Possible…

legit.

Yup. Sigh.
