let me explain…

No one would think it was funny to bully an Autistic Child™, and you don’t think bullying Autistic Children™ is funny! That’s horrible! But when I say that story about a “weird kid” you knew that got bullied isn’t funny, you’re like “Well…that’s different! She was really weird, I mean she MEOWED at people!”

…bruh

headspace-hotel:

I’m gonna be real here, I take neurotypicals’ opinions on “weird” people far more seriously than I take their statements of support for me or for autistic people in general.

Like your opinions on furries (putting aside any sexual connotations) are HONESTLY a better litmus test of whether you are a safe person for me or any autistic people than your opinions on Five Year Old Boy Disease.

Yup. “Of course I support you, autistic person, but look at this guy over there being weird!”

So what you’re telling me is you’re supporting me, who is autistic, as long as I don’t behave autistic. Got it. Bye.

“We’re not making fun of him for being autistic, we’re making fun of him for being weird”
