So many teachers I had should have been reported as being abusive, or even sexual predators for the way they behaved in school. I'm under 30 years old and everything I went through was considered normal. Looking back, my dad asks why we never reported any of them or took legal action.

Parents owe it to their autistic children to learn the proper terms for autism. There's no "more severe" autistic. There's no lower or higher in the spectrum. Most autistic people prefer to be called autistic over "having autism" because we don't have a disease, we have a divergent neurotype.

When I was diagnosed as autistic I cried. I was overwhelmed with joy. Finally I knew I wasn't broken. I was autistic. Not damaged. Just autistic. Then I started to have nights laying away so angry. Angry that the signs where there. I wasn't diagnosed soon enough. I wasn't protected soon enough.

Watching John Oliver and I gotta say, the part on conservatives complaining about being censored is great. Conservatives are censored the same way I censor my dog by making her shit in the yard instead of on the couch.

Part of the reason I don't believe Musk is autistic is that no autistic person would ask a question that vague on a survey for employees. It would drive most autistic people crazy to have to answer that question.

Thinking about how my therapist tried to convince me that someone who was repeatedly causing me to have autistic meltdowns to the point where I relapsed wasn't trying hurt me on purpose, despite said person directly seeing me meltdown as a direct result of their actions.

So I have a disability tool that helps me with citations, tracking sources, and referring at university. It is paid for my DSA because it's made for disabled people and it's purpose is to help us. I'm expected to learn how to do these things anyway because it's important, but the aid helps.

I really wish I didn't have to care. I wish my heart didn't ache. I wish I didn't say things I know are wrong, hurtful, and unfair. I feel deep regret and shame and yet keep doing it. I feel like despising myself is the easiest way to live.

This isn't even a joke, cause they're already using their children as shields. It's sickening.

Sometimes I wish men had braincells, but then I worry about the damage they could do if they had the power to think.
