@scretladyspider@chronicallybeee My allergies are very obviously environmental triggers, but no matter what I say they refuse to believe I can’t “heal through diet.” It’s so frustrating. I believe it’s the fallacy of control.
@carissadraws @SyncXmA@fatfabfeminist Generally this happens because you didn’t support your arguments well with evidence from the text or didn’t read the assignment carefully. Then you’ll blame “know it all teacher” rather than improving your writing and critical analysis skills.
@akihabarasucks@whatifalthist @femcelgirlfren She does advocacy for the autistic community so that OTHER autistic people feel less alone. Especially late diagnosed who may feel broken for having these struggles. Sorry the video wasn’t catered to YOU specifically. That’s pretty fucking cringy of you.
@QuintusActual @femcelgirlfren What is an “a word pass”?
1) “Autistic” isn’t a dirty word.
2) If you’re saying you’re autistic, it doesn’t give you to right to hate other autistic people for having different traits than you.
@Pecker2002 @femcelgirlfren And? Is your daughter autistic? Do you go around picking on disabled people because they can’t do things your daughter can do?
@whatifalthist @femcelgirlfren YOU are the reason no matter how hard we try it’s not enough. We process social interactions differently because they don’t come naturally to us. It’s hard to remember everything having to think through every step manually. But even when we try our hardest it’s never enough.
@whatifalthist @femcelgirlfren An autistic person has a hard time with the rules of social interaction but has to think through all the steps to do it correctly, is proud of herself for doing so.
People in comments: “she’s trying to be special by showing it’s hard for her.” Also: “she didn’t do it correctly”
@bobfromcobbco@ProphetableTrdr@QuintusActual @femcelgirlfren And what “push” do you mean? She finds phone calls hard, but she pushed herself to do it by the thinking through the steps. That’s exactly what pushing yourself is. What do you want?
@bobfromcobbco@ProphetableTrdr@QuintusActual @femcelgirlfren She’s diagnosed and does a lot of advocacy for the community. Autistic people are, yes, socially “weird” bc we don’t process social rules the same. Autism is a spectrum and our struggles aren’t always apparent, esp in a short video. Just admit you bullied “weird” kids in school.
@QuintusActual @femcelgirlfren You hate autistic people for having to struggle and think through social interactions to do them correctly, a known autistic trait. Got it.
@bieg9093@YessicaYesOrNo @madmothership @NextSlt For a moment you sounded like you were open to learning, but this? This belies your true dehumanization and disgust. You think you can talk over us, tell US what respect is by treating autism like a shame to be hidden, and create a strawman if anyone calls you out on your ableism
@bieg9093@YessicaYesOrNo @madmothership @NextSlt I will always respect an autistic person’s individual preference, but you do NOT have the right to say which is more respectful FOR us. That is disgustingly disrespectful, demeaning, ableist and authoritarian. You don’t get to speak for us.
