🚫 Don’t: “Everyone is a little autistic.”
✅ Do: “Autistic traits are not exclusive to Autistic people
and it’s the cumulative constellation of traits that they have
that fundamentally differs from the lived experiences of Non-Autistic people.”
(A bit wordy, but maybe the nuance is worth it.)

Rejection sensitivity is central to ADHD, autism, and cPTSD.
Mental health services rarely understand rejection sensitivity, which is why people in all three diagnostic categories are so often told there is something wrong with their personality.
There isn’t.

As an autistic person, I cannot overstate how delightful it is to date other autistic people when we're both just like, fuck "the rules," fuck the masks, let's just exist and be real together and see what happens.

its a pivotal time for the perception of autism, either we will be humanized and awareness will continue to advance along side the science, or we will regress into an age of harmful hyper aggressive aba strategies to homogenize the significant portion of the populace truly scary
