Being Autistic I Have A Really Strong Sense Of Justice And As A Result I Am VERY Political. It Bothers

Being autistic I have a really strong sense of justice and as a result I am VERY political. It bothers me the most when people say they “don’t get into politics” because to me the idea of willing ignorance on such important stuff is almost reprehensible. We need an informed populace, otherwise democracy cannot flourish. It can be hard, emotionally, particularly when you feel like no one else seems to even care, and that you personally can’t make any meaningful difference. It can be overwhelming, potentially more so for people with hyper-empathy than me. But it’s my opinion that we have a responsibility to educate ourselves.

I will never understand the level of apathy so many people seem to show towards world events. They just don’t care, because it’s not directly affecting them (or they don’t realize that it is!) I don’t know how you could ever justify that stance morally, if you want to prevent human suffering, which most people seem to at least at a conceptual level.

No one is perfect, and you can’t know everything about every important thing happening- that’s futile. But it’s so integral that you TRY

People underestimate how much it fucks you up to be subtly excluded as a kid. I would try to talk to my classmates and be met with disinterest or annoyance. The one friend I had, who I clung to and nodded along to his every word, had other friends he liked just as much or more. And his other friends didn’t care for me at all.

I look back at pictures from the time and see how separated I was from them. I remember knowing I was different. I remember posing questions about the world to the girls playing next to me and realizing that they had never asked the same ones to themselves. That the ways we thought couldn’t be more different.

I kept myself amused with my own fanatical stories and musings in my head. I would wander the playground on a circular path, imagining a friend and being sorely disappointed when it didn’t feel as real as I’d hoped.

There was a bubble separating me from everyone else, thin, and nearly invisible, but with a pearly sheen you could catch under the right conditions. I knew it was there, they knew it was there, and it changed me
