for real. reading the history of the laws (the many laws) written to keep blacks away from anything empowering is quite dizzying and housing discrimination was a big one. laws keeping and taking land from blacks go way back (for example) and as society progressed, it morphed to fit the times. nowadays it’s housing discrimination and it’s rampant.

Reality of what you get from a healthy romantic relationship when you’re mentally ill:
another person in your life who deeply supports you
encouragement to take care of yourself
not feeling alone (esp if partner is also mentally ill)
little moments of joy
What you don’t realistically get from a healthy romantic relationship when you’re mentally ill:
a cure that makes it all magically go away

having an anxiety disorder is horrible because you’re always so agitated and worried and frightened and desperate for help but at the same time you know it’s all ridiculous and instead of telling anyone about it you just hide away in shame and get increasingly worse until you finally manage to compress yourself into a diamond of sheer terror

Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”
and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”
and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.

I’m actually concerned for boys who complain about how different girls look without makeup. Like did you think eyeshadow permanently alters a girls eyelid? Are you frightened when people change clothes

We Want YOU
We are looking for first-person and family perspectives on autism and autism acceptance to include in our “What Is Autism” section. We are looking for brief descriptions of what autism is like from the perspective of autistic people of all ages, and brief discussions from autistic people or their families about what autism acceptance looks like in action day-to-day and why it is important. We especially encourage those whose stories and communities are under-represented to submit your stories.
We have posed two questions to get people started:
“What do I like about being autistic?”
and
“What is autism acceptance?”
Answer can be written (500 words or less), images, or video (5 minutes or less, in .MOV, .MPEG4, .AVI, .WMV, .MPEGPS, .FLV, 3GPP, or WebM format.) Answers should be sent to [email protected], and will be posted on the Autism Acceptance Month website and shared via social media.
