Always Measure With You Heart.

One thing I need allistics to understand is that autistic people often have wildly different perspectives of what conversations are "acceptable" and what aren't. Many autistic people talk about "private" topics really openly, and allistics see that as oversharing. Other autistic people consider everything private and avoid asking/answering questions, so many allistics see them as weird or like we have something to hide. I for example am in the second category and since I was a child, I had strange boundaries on what's acceptable to ask and what isn't. That's alright, it's simply just another autism thing.

I am so happy Ao3 is back. I would not have survived summer school without it.

In light of the things RFK said about autistic people recently, I feel like it's important to remember where the term "Asperger's Syndrome" came from.

It was the nazi's way of sorting between "useful" autistic people that could still work for them, and "unwanted" autistic people that would be sent to the camps. We kept using the term until very recently to my memory, and I'm not one to speculate but I wouldn't be surprised if the distinction comes back into popularity in the near future. Or even becomes legally recognized.

This isn't about whether or not you personally paid your taxes or wrote a poem. People have value and a right to exist regardless of their ability to do those things, and the second we forget about that and say "oh but I'm not the kind of autistic person he's talking about, I'm useful" we've fallen directly back into the line of thinking they had in literal nazi germany.

I’m sick of debating who gets to become Batman after Bruce ok. Why can’t Batman just be four robins stacked in a trench coat
