Shout out to the ones who were scary and aggressive. The inpatient visits that were filled with tears and attempts because you didn’t know how to handle it .

Shout out to autistic people who therapy speak doesn’t apply to. Who when the therapist says “they’re not thinking about you that’s social anxiety” you can list 20 real life examples and don’t need it sugar coated.

Shout out to those Who get horrified responses to their stories but can’t even figure out which part is upsetting. Who’ve been the content of clinical study. Who were the kids horror movies warn will kill someone. Who therapists and psychologists didn’t know what to do when adults said “fix it”.

Shout out to those who aren’t relationship material. Who won’t have a “normal” life. Who don’t want sex. Who will never have sex. Who’s autistic traits are deal breakers.

Who were told they’re gifted and we’re at one point but now the gift doesn’t apply. Who are left picking up the shattered pieces from a pedastool assigned at birth.

Who aren’t smart and it’s not cute or a joke. Who can’t hide the developmental delays. Who the greatness at one thing highlights the disabilities overall.

Autistic isn’t fun all the time. We can live good lives but there’s a painful and steep learning curve to overcome if you want to get a fulfilling life. That learning curve causes trauma even for those of us who have good lives now.

shoutout to offputting autistic people
