The framing around autistic people not wanting to do things because their autism makes the things unpleasant is really fucking weird.

I don’t like going to nightclubs.

The main reason I don’t like it is that the noise causes me to meltdown.

And allistics see this as this huge, evil thing.

“Omg, poor Lucy, how will she ever live?”

And I’m just like,

Bitch, if you don’t like spicy food, because you were born with a low tolerance for spicy food, no one’s crying their fucking eyes out like

“Poor baby, how ever will she cope with only being able to order mild curries?”

People don’t like shit.

People don’t have to like shit.

And this weird thing where if the reason I don’t like something can be seen to be to do with my autism, I MUST BE FORCED TO ENJOY IT is fucking annoying and needs to stop.

Yeah but this only applies if you’re disabled.

If you’re allistic and you’re like “eh, don’t like clubs” nobody gives a shit but if you’re autistic and you’re like “eh, don’t like clubs” suddenly everybody thinks you’d be better off having never been born
