Title: "Gaslighting Autistics Looks Like"

It's too bright!

No it's not

It's too loud!

No it's not

It tastes yucky!

No it doesn't

I'm scared!

Don't be silly.

I hate going there.

No you don't.

I'm sorry!

No you aren't.

Note: I am unsure if the above is exactly"gaslighting" in the intended meaning, but the refusal to acknowledge how we experience the world definitely is devastating and can be abusive in the right situation.

Today, my body needed rest. And so I was not present when the family came home. My stepsister could not get into the house because I was not available. My father felt he could not cook because I had not cleaned. They are often lost when it comes to technology. They are incompetent about parenting, because they don't do anything positive for my nephew. There is a reason why he is drawn to me and my brother way more than his own mother.

Without me as a mediator, this whole family loses its entire structure.

Frankly, I feel like it should fall apart. My father deserves no legacy that involves his savior complex and micromanagement. Having a permanent home with an obedient wife and successful children is his dream. Unfortunately he didn't take into account that his children have different views on success. And so he watches his dream crumble as his children decide to become themselves.

I'm not breaking the family apart. My siblings are not breaking the family apart. His toxic ways are breaking the family apart. He wants us to be stagnant. We all want to grow.

just because you're queer doesn't mean you can't be ableist

Today, July 5th was supposed to mark the end of Pride Week in Georgia with a Pride March in the capital Tbilisi.

Homophobic Pro Putin forces and religious groups lead by Georgian Orthodox church have been making threats for the entire week that they wouldn't allow it. Today morning these hate groups stormed the offices of Tbilisi Pride and the Shame Movement, they also physically assaulted journalists and peaceful civilians. The government and police won't do anything about it. Tbilisi Pride had to cancel today's march to avoid further escalation and violence.

If you can, please consider donating to Tbilisi Pride and The Shame Movement and please reblog to spread the word!
