I always find it hilarious to see allistics make comments like “oh, autistic people have trouble doing x”, because in my experience, autistic people are usually better at doing x than allistics. 

Take ‘autistics have trouble recognizing normal social rules’ for example. Every autistic I’ve ever met has always been extremely polite, able to work through normal social conventions like ‘say thank you to the waitress’ and ‘smile at the cashier’ pretty much fluently (I’ve lost count of the times someone told me I’m “So polite!”). Yet allistics cut lines, are gruff to cashiers for no reason, say “one coffee” instead of “can I have one coffee, please?”, etc. etc.

This is not to say that we don’t have trouble recognizing social rules. We do. That’s the whole reason we’re so polite. This is how we’re taught to behave, and we practiced our whole life on it, actively trying to mimick the nicest possible social rules because we realized that we weren’t perfect. As a result, we can now navigate regular social interactions in the most polite way possible. Because we a) do not want to be rude to cashiers, and b) we are incredibly scared of fucking up and having people realize that we’re not neurotypical.

But allistics are out there just fucking ignoring all of their own social rules because they are so confident in their ability to recognize social rules that they think they don’t have to follow them? I mean? What? If we were to say “one coffee” instead of “can I have one coffee, please?” everyone would be breathing down our necks immediately, going “that’s not how you do it!”, lecturing us for ages on normal social rules, “I know you’re autistic but can’t you at least try?”. But when they do it, suddenly they’re perfectly acceptable, if maybe a little rude.

Because autistics actively work on trying to be polite, we usually are more polite than allistics, who just assume that they’re already ‘doing it right’ because nobody ever told them otherwise. 

This holds true for a lot of the ‘autistics are bad at x’ statements. ‘Autistics are bad at empathizing with others’, says the allistic who is about to tell an autistic person having a meltdown that they should just ‘get over it’. ‘Autistics have trouble with generalizing things and taking things to literal’, says the allistic who is about to go on and explain why every autistic is rainman. ‘Autistics have trouble keeping up a proper hygiene’, says the allistic who hasn’t brushed their teeth this morning.

What I’m trying to say is that, even though all of these statements are generally true (although it depends on the individual autistic, of course), we actively work to rectify these problems because we fear the consequences if we do not, and also because we don’t want to accidentally hurt anyone. Allistics, meanwhile, believe themselves to be so all-knowing that they are often the biggest culprits of the things they accuse us of doing.

TL;DR: Allistics are often doing the exact things they accuse autistics of doing, only that when they do it, it’s excused because there’s nothing ‘wrong’ with them.

I honestly think that we would eliminate one of the major causes of ableism if we stopped basing people’s worth off how much revenue they generate.

“If autism isn’t caused by environmental factors and is natural why didn’t we ever see it in the past?”

We did, except it wasn’t called autism it was called “Little Jonathan is a r*tarded halfwit who bangs his head on things and can’t speak so we’re taking him into the middle of the cold dark forest and leaving him there to die.”
