14 Y.o. Me, Finding Out That Autism Can Be A Reason To Decline Gender Affirming Surgeries And Transition

14 y.o. me, finding out that autism can be a reason to decline gender affirming surgeries and transition in general: well i guess it makes sense doctors probably know what they do

20 y.o. me, randomly remembering this not-so-fun fact: wait, that's fucked up

to be honest i don't really like that sometimes representation makes autistic people look like just silly little dudes who all that colourful and happy

like okay sure autistic people have a right to be happy and enjoy things but i wanna see the not-so-happy part of life. yeah, people portray stuff like going nonverbal and sensory overload and all that. but what about those time when you have to shut up mid sentense because you don't wanna sound rude? when you choose to stay silent and exclude yourself from conversations? when you over think what you all the time? when you feel to much and people keep trying to talk to you and you need to shove your feelings down because otherwise you will snap at them? when you have to prepare yourself for hours to simply answer the text from a friend? when something out of your control happens and it changes all your routine and you just sitting there trying not to cry? when your family forget to tell you that you all going to visit relatives and you have 0 time to prepare yourself?

i'm gonna be honest with you: been neurodivergent sucks but lack of opportunity to see people struggling with the same shit sucks more

jump.

honestly i think it would be hilarious if all todoroki siblings attended the UA's hero course at some point

'white-red hair, daddy issues and insanity in eyes? you must be todoroki'

and it would be ten times funnier if all of them were at aizawa's homeroom cuz honestly at least toya would be in the same level of chaotic good as midoriya.

aizawa: *slides the door open in the first day of school year and sees painfully familiar red and white hair*

aizawa: nope thanks i quit

just imagine: natsuo finally graduates and UA stuff can sit back and relax and then BOOM! GUESS WHAT it's shouto fucking todoroki and he's UNWELL AND READY TO CAUSE TROUBLE

me, after leaning that been absolutely drained after most of the social interaction to the point where i can't properly function and been in my own head 24/7 is not in fact been introverted and nerdy: oh, who would've guessed

me, putting a badge 'queerplatonic relationship' on iida, todoroki, uraraka and midoriya: *takes a step back* heh, nice👍
