Me being born autistic: Well this could have been a lot harder

Everyone else preparing to traumatize the fuck out of me: Would you like to see how much harder?

Normalize not wanting a professional diagnosis, especially for stigmatized disorders.

y'know what? fuck it! shout out to all my fellow "stereotypes!"

shoutout to my fellow autists who do feel like a kid in an adult’s body because their mind works differently. shoutout to my fellow systems who have alters that lash out, and/or alters of fictives from popular media. shoutout to my fellow bpd folks who get clingy and have abandonment issues. shoutout to the autists who act "robotic" and love trains or dinosaurs. shoutout to the people with OCD/OCPD who do get obsessions with cleanliness and orderliness, who do wash their hands over and over, who do lock and unlock the doors a specific number of times. shoutout to the people struggling with intrusive thoughts that do get the violent ones and the sexual ones, not just the self-injurious ones.

shoutout to my fellow flamboyant gays. shoutout to the lesbians who wear flannel and have buzzcuts. shoutout to the aces who like space and cake and dragons. shoutout to the aces who are stoic and don't have an interest in bonding with people even non-romantically. shoutout to the nbs with neopronouns and names like "star." shoutout to the queers(or otherwise lgbt+ folk if you don't use that term for yourself) who have dyed and cut hair, wear a shitload of pronoun pins, wear a rainbow binder that can be seen, and love talking about how much they love being part of the community.

shoutout to my fellow activists who yell and get mad. shoutout to my fellow activists who bring up the problems in things, even if it means "always making it political." shoutout to the feminists who don't wear bras or shave, and don't get along with men.

shoutout to the men who struggle with emotions. shoutout to the men who love blue and camo and trucks and fixing things and sports and hunting. shoutout to the women who cry easily. shoutout to the women who take hours getting ready. shoutout to the women who love pink and shopping and shoes and cooking and taking care of kids and cleaning.

i'm very white so i'll summarize the next one: shoutout to all the BIPOC fitting into "stereotypes" as well. if anyone who is BIPOC wants to give specific shout outs, go for it!

to anyone who fits these or any other "stereotypes":

You are not a stereotype. You are a person with traits and qualities. You are not doing anything wrong by being true to yourself, whether that means fitting expectations or not.

Anyone who hates whatever group you are in for these "stereotypes" would hate your group regardless; anyone who accuses you of "giving your group a bad name" is deflecting the hate onto you because it's easier to pretend that it's nothing they are doing that gets that hatred; the truth is, bigots are bigots and they will always find a "reason" to be hateful. You trying to avoid "stereotypes" will never change that.

(do not fucking clown on this post. you will not get a debate from me, you will get blocked.)

i want people to know, people with mental health disorders and not alike, that someone can have a mental illness and be aware of their mental illness.

idk why so many people dismiss the voices of people or activists who have mental disorders because they're able to (at least for the most part) understand their symptoms and live with it.

and vise versa, getting upset at people who are unaware of their symptoms and/or detached from reality because of them, expecting them to do better when they obviously can't or don't know how.

ultimately we're just sick of seeing ableism with mental illnesses that are always either "yOuR fAkINg lOl" or "you need to literally be locked away and sedated". and said ableism effecting how people with mental health disorders are treated and how they treat themselves.

if someone is saying your faking, you aren't. faking is a consious effort and your needs matter just as much as the extreme cases.

if they say you're "crazy" or "broken", you aren't. you just need extra love and care. you are hurting and it's okay to hurt and need help, there's nothing wrong with you to need that.

ppl who celebrate fictional character birthdays are annoying pass it on

Why do neurotypical people have all these unspoken rules. Why is it considered proper social interaction to be fake. They’re so weird
