“Don’t infantilize autism” should be used when people who aren’t autistic treat autistic adults like children.
It should not be said when people who are actually autistic have “childish” interests or stuffed animals and such. Autistic adults are allowed to find comfort and express their autism in ways that works for them (without causing harm), even other autistic people don’t get to tell them not to enjoy those things just because they dislike stereotypes or don’t want themselves to be infantilized.
You can’t tell someone else their life should be breaking a stereotype you dislike. That’s not up to you.

my best tip for anyone trying to get back into reading is to remember that you can read books to avoid other responsibilities in ur life and it can become a vice if you play your cards right
Sorry for infodumping about my special interest out of nowhere, you said a keyword and it activated my unskippable dialogue
SOOOOO funny when you’re having a strong emotion and your logical brain KNOWS you’re overreacting but you literally can’t do anything about it.
What Autistic People Want Our Friends to Know
Neurodivergent Lou
Can we stop using "still lives with their parents" or "unemployed" or "doesn't have a drivers license" or "didn't graduate high school" as an insult or evidence that someone is a bad person? Struggling with independence or meeting milestones is not a moral failing.
is anyone else also doing ultimately fine + dying of stress + it’s not that bad + if i don’t wake up tomorrow hotter and better at every hobby its fucking over for me
me when the disability disables me: oh what the fuck? this sucks. what the hell man!
