Nobody talks about the hard parts about autism.
Nobody talks about not knowing when you need to eat, drink or pee. Not knowing when you're in pain, or why you're in pain. Not being able to communicate what you need.
Or when change is so hard to deal with you have meltdowns and outbursts. When you can't control your anger and hurt yourself or others. When you can't emote unless you're breaking down.
Or when you can't understand what someone is saying, what you're reading, anything. When you can't even try because trying makes it worse. When you ask for help but not getting what they say just makes you more frustrated.
And so many more difficult experiences we have to deal with that no one likes.

Matthew talking about Reid.
Woo-Hoo! Go Reid! 🤓✊🏻
imagine how much of a fucking horrible person you have to be that on the first day your elected into office the crisis calls of a Suicide Prevention Project Go Up 33%. The Trevor Project Received over 1,400 Call By Early Monday Afternoon. Most of those calls, if not all, are coming from children. Children scared of you and what you will do. Imagine how much power and how horrible you have to be to do that.
Taylor's dad saying Dakota said he only met her three times and then pointing the finger at Taylor saying "he had sex with you. What does that say about you?". How, as a father, can you honestly come out and say that to your own daughter. Yes she may have been wrong, in your opinion, for sleeping with him even though they hadn't known each other for very long. But she is not the one to blame.
Dakota had been lying to her. He continued to lie throughout their relationship. And the moment Dakota realises that Mayci had contacted Jenna to clear the air, he then confesses to Taylor. That's a childish fucking move. It's not Taylor's fault at all just because she slept with him.
Dakota is also religious. Why is Taylor's dad pointing at her, saying "What does that say about you?" when both of them were involved? In this situation it was consensual between both of them, yet somehow you want to single out Taylor? Why not focus on the guy who was going back and forth between two women, lying to them, and continued to lie, until he realised he was trapped with no lie to save him.
Then when Taylor's brother started chiming in? Oh that annoyed me so much. Taylor is clearly upset and needs support. But somehow everyone seems to be defending Dakota. I'm sorry, did I miss something? No way in hell would I defend Dakota. Maybe he does change in the future, but at that point in time, I would not want to see his face and I would choose to support Taylor who is so clearly struggling.
What really sucks is when you know you should be doing something but physically/mentally cannot bring yourself to do it no matter how important doing that thing is.
