I'll see you when you're dead

  • **Trigger warning for allistic bigotry ahead**
  • Me: I don't actually want to hang the curtains with dad.
  • Mum: You can hold something for him at least.
  • Me: I'm ill and I'm tired, I don't want to do it today.
  • Mum: You don't want to do anything ever!
  • Me: That's often the case.
  • Mum: So you haven't got better at all.
  • Me: Why do I have to get better? Why can't I just be me?
  • Mum: I thought you weren't going to blame it on your illness anymore.
  • Me: It seems you will all accept I'm autistic as long as you don't have to treat me any differently. You just make me feel like a fucking idiot for not being able to do things.
  • Mum: You know we're only teasing you.
  • Me: I'm not taught to say no, that's why I didn't say no [to dad about hanging the curtains]. I'm not taught to have boundaries. Instead I'm forced to do horrible and stressful things all the time because I 'have to'.
  • Mum: Oh go and lock yourself in your room then, I'll see you when you're dead.
  • Me: Okay, cool! That's brilliant, thanks *goes to room*

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.
