@NeuroRebel As someone diagnosed late, as well as societally unaccepted in a lot of other ways, I KNOW the mental&physical stress and pain hiding and masking creates. That's all ABA is. It doesn't change the person, it just teaches them to mask effectively enough to be widely accepted.
Realised I've trained myself that days when my spd is bad&I don't have the energy to mask I'm not allowed to be around people because I might snap at them or say something insensitive&not sure how to feel about that yet
Drake was having a very bad day, so we're all eating chocolate and exhausting the shows on Netflix with good autism representation. Sometimes being multiple is actually great.
Far more leftists could acknowledge the economic reality that it's legal to pay disabled workers less than minimum wage, sometimes even literal pennies on the hour.
This is a HUGE one for us, that we have to explain every single time it happens. It ruins relationships, and has gotten us bullied and ostracized. Watch the two minute thing.
