brokensilence137 replied to your post: My depression was bad enough to get extensions on about 10 essays

[Ignorant] anon is [ignorant]. I hope they never have to experience depression as deep as yours so they can understand. I’ve been there. I’m sorry you’re going through this right now. I’m glad you got extensions though and I hope you’re feeling better soon.

Edited your post to make it less ableist, hope you don’t mind.

I don’t doubt that Anon has experienced depression as deep as mine, if not far worse. Why? Because I don’t need to see proof before I believe their experiences. If my depression is worse, I do not seek to use this against them, and to say that their experiences are not real.

The erasure has to stop.

I would believe that they were bipolar even if they didn’t have a diagnosis.

About

Here you will find my experiences with autism, as well as the anxiety and depression that often come with it.

I want this to be a place of neurodiversity. I'm not an expert, but I welcome questions, thoughts and experiences from others. I want to respect all neurodivergences and that means refusing to reinforce ableism.

I don't use functioning language. Nor do I insult people on the basis of their intelligence, or equate intelligence with worth.

Outside of ableism, I also reblog posts about cissexism, heterosexism, racism, sexism, sizism and any other -isms that are taking place.

As a white cisgender guy I hold a lot of privileges, so I welcome call-outs when I get any of this wrong.

My personal posts tend to be in the actuallyautistic tag.

I can also be found at FY Stimming.
