Hey, here’s a concept. What if we stopped saying “but autistic people CAN do all those things” (erasing high support needs) and instead started saying “not being able to do those things doesn’t impact someone’s value as a person nor does it make it okay to commit eugenics”.

you do not have to be functional to be worthy of love and existence as an autistic person. if you need assistance, you are worthy. if you don’t have a job, you are worthy. if you are not social, you are worthy.

you exist. you are a person. you are inherently worthy of life and love

my love for calico critters are so strong that sometimes when i am looking at them i cry a little

and if i became a pedro pascal fan account , what then ???

I LOVE THEM I CANT

One of the more ridiculous things I saw recently online was someone trying to claim autistic people don’t experience ableism much because it’s a hidden disability. Then they blocked me when I said that making assumptions about the experiences of a disabled person is ableist in itself….

I think the word "baggage" is to "trauma" what "squick" is to "trigger":

that is, a word that we should use to describe an experience more accurately so we're not watering down terms that are needed by ppl to describe very serious, specific experiences.

you ever look back at old photos of yourself and realize you’ve had such a glow up and how absolutely fucking embarrassing you were… then to realize that was only a YEAR AGO — when did time start moving so fast yet so slow? I swear 2020 was yesterday and 15 years ago.
