people who don’t say please and thank you are ugly

You sound neurotypical.

People who have difficulty talking to people and still try are beautiful but people who think that their illness is an excuse to stop caring about how they treat other people are ugly too.

i know people always insist that if an actor changes their hairstyle or appearance or whatever halfway through filming a show then the show should give a legitimate in universe explanation for it but honestly thats nonsense like the funniest thing parks and rec has ever done was that bit in s6 where andy “goes to london” for 6 months and magically comes back with a six pack and blond highlights and the only explanation he gives is “I stopped drinking beer”

i just saw a new psychiatrist and I know he’s not Right For Me bc the reason I went undiagnosed with autism for so long is that I’m very social and I painstakingly adapted a lot of behaviors throughout my childhood to be more socially “acceptable” going so far as having family members help train me to make eye contact and when I told him I’m recently diagnosed he said “is that a diagnosis you identify with a lot or that you’d be okay with changing” and I’d only been talking to him for like…..25 minutes and he was like “because you seem very social, so I wouldn’t have made that connection”

YOU’VE KNOWN ME!!!! FOR LESS THAN HALF AN HOUR!!!!

it’s just frustrating bc I get this response a lot from people who are meeting me after two decades of intensive behavior checking bc I didn’t know I had autism and thought I was just weird and needed to fix myself.

I forced myself to never stim, I’ve struggled with volume control and an auditory processing disorder every day, my brother actively trained me to make eye contact at age ten, I learned to use humor to cover my total lack of situational and social awareness, and after 20 years of struggling like this, ppl will be like “but you don’t act autistic”

bitch you’re right!!!!! I don’t!!!!!! because I wasn’t allowed to and it’s had emotional consequences I’m only just now beginning to unravel!!!!

it’s so wild when ppl say “i wouldn’t have made that connection” like it’s synonymous with “that connection isn’t there to be made”

this is so wonderfully articulated I’m keeping it thank you.
