anyone else stay home for a while and be like "hmmmm been acting fine lately. maybe i'm not autistic." and then you have one (1) social interaction and you're like ah. the Autism strikes again.

[neurotypicalabusesurvivor]

In our society it only counts as emotional abuse if it fits within neuronormativity.

Telling a autistic person who is in a middle of a melt down to be claim is emotional abuse.

Telling people who have anger issues because of trauma to be claim is emotional abuse.

Expecting people with RSD to not have strong emotions over rejection is emotional abuse.

Saying people with BPD are abusive because of extreme emotions is emotional abuse.

You motherfuckers will say all emotions are valid up in tell the point it does not fit within neuronormativity. In which case the person is a "evil abuser" because you feel like there should be zero consequences for Neuronormative privilege. Yet when you trigger these feelings in neurodivergent people with neuronormative privilege are "innocent victim".

You ableist are codependent on neurodivergent acting, feeling and thinking like Neurotypicals and unlike actual codependents people who are acting that way because of mental illness you don't have an excuse.

PROTIP: To defeat the Neurotypicals, focus fire on their directing Neurotyrant first:

[thetisming]

"i'm so hyperfixated on this!/this is a huge special interest of mine!" "*we start talking about our actual hyperfixations and special interests*" "thats a really unhealthy obsession, are you mentally ill?"

I love seeing neurotypicals watch Gordon Ramsey and act shocked when he notices small details.

"Oh my god, he noticed the texture of the meat!" That's... Not what you do? You don't feel the textures in your food?

"He realized what he needed to add to the dish!" You can't tell when an ingredient is missing? You don't realize?

"He can tell what food is gonna taste good just by looking at it!" You don't know how to do that?

Weirdo

Can we please stop linking disability and neurodivergence to crime and bigotry please!

I’ve seen so much of this shit in the press for half my life that it’s driving me INSANE!!!!!!!

Autism has NOTHING to do with that shit nor does any other form of neurodivergence or disability!!!!!!!!

I am SICK of this shit!!!!

It’s bumbrained fearmongering bullshit!

It’s the kind of shit that antivaxxers would buy into! (Andrew Wakefield deserves a bullet for the shit he’s enabled! *NO I AM NOT PLANNING ANYTHING*)

[sillylilneurodivergent]

I’m so jealous of neurotypical extroverts

The hell you mean neurotypicals can filter out the 4 different conversations in a room except the one there partaking in. I can't filter out any of them!

"Is he acoustic" jokes were funny until neurotypicals got their hands on it 😔😔

curious to know abt the correlation between neurodiverse folks and tattoos. bc i as an audhder would simply Never Get A Tattoo because i hate the idea of something being on my body permanently.

(this is also why i want to go on t and have the ftm surgeries but also don't want to anything permanent bc What If I Regret It)

so like nd people. what's y'all's opinions on tattoos.

[neurotypicalabusesurvivor]

Do you see someone being mentally ill in public?

Are they posing an immediate threat to themselves or others?

If no then leave them them fuck alone.

You are conditioned by society to see mentally ill people as violent. Your fear is 100% based on ableism. Them being "scary" is not an excuse to disrupt their lives just because they can't mask.

Neurotypicals have ZERO fucken idea just how much grace we give you.

Absolutely clueless as to how many things you do that offend, or are dismissive, or ableist. We endure all the bullshit of being made to feel small, or wrong, or being made to be the problem time and time again.

You have no idea how often we tell ourselves that y'all "probably didn't mean it that way" or put it down to a lack of sensitivity, or not sharing the same experience.

You have no idea how dismissive you can be of our challenges and how unwilling y'all are to actually TRY to understand our mannerisms, means of communication, or intent.

You have your perceptions and that's all that matters.

But we have to adjust ours CONSTANTLY.

Y'all can really be such arseholes without even trying and at the end of the day the only thing that comes of it is one of us trying to adjust, for the nth time, to finally get it right for y'all.

I think a thing that is frustrating about neurotypicals as someone with autism and auditory / language processing issues (yet to be explicitly diagnosed to my knowledge) is how little they understand neurological differences and disabilities in processing things like hearing and yet they feel like they understand it to a sufficient level.

Case in point, today at work one ofbmy coworkers got all mad and offended because I was "rude and disrespectful" because in the morning, while thinking about the things I needed to do and thought of an important question before I could start my question to ask my mentor, asked the question and she was talking and thus I interrupted her. Yes, rude now that I KNOW she was talking and so I apologize, but I really hate the implied intent or lack of caring put with the "autistic interruption" shit

Ignoring social cues and rules aside, I *literally* didn't realize / process she was talking. Of course, I'm not deaf or HoH so I can't say that because "How could I not hear her? She was speaking loud enough to know" and there is a HUGE difference between *hearing* and *processing* and so when they always give the advise of be more considerate / think before you speak or tell you the social rule to not interript cause its rude, it doesn't help like at all

Cause yes, I KNOW that and I DO think before I speak. I just *literally* didnt process her speech as speech and it was filtered as white noise.

Its like going into a busy and loud club and saying "dont speak if the guy two tables down is talking"

Like yeah, maybe I COULD hear that he is talking among the 50000 other people talking, but Im not processing him talking as distinct from the ambient noise around me.

Some Neurotypicals are just awful people.

Really disrespectful and incredibly ignorant, ableist people.

My parents had bought tickets to Shrek the Musical. We were enjoying the first half and I’d taken a few pictures, but at the intermission, someone came over and told me to stop filming. I said I was only taking pictures but was told nothing was allowed. This wasn’t advertised anywhere or mentioned at any point, and I felt really bad about being told off, but I obviously put my phone down.

Then the show started up again. Unfortunately, being autistic, I really struggled when I didn’t have my phone in my hand. I tried searching by feel in my bag, and eventually found my stim toy. It has clicking and silent bits. I was starting to click a few times and that was when the trouble started.

“What’s that clicking noise” came can angry voice from next to my partner. A chav with a strong weed smell and an angry voice. I tried to show her my stim toy, and was about to apologise. Then she said “You should stop it!” Not a “please can you be a little more quiet?” Not a “would you mind being a little quieter”. Just “You should stop it!”

My mum told the woman “She’s autistic” and she stood her ground. “You should warn people!” My partner told her that I don’t owe anybody my diagnosis. I don’t have to tell people around me all the time that I’m autistic. She just said “Shut the fuck up.” And he didn’t want to disturb anyone else.

By this point I was crying heavily, but silently. I tried to stop myself as much as I could. My mum checked in, asked if I needed a minute, but since we were in the middle of a row and it would have disrupted a lot of people, I said I was fine. What I didn’t see was my mum was apparently glaring at this woman for several minutes.

The woman then loudly states “What the fuck are you staring at?” And tries to instigate a fight. She says that she will disrupt everyone around us and “ruin it for everyone”, and cause a scene, followed by “I paid for my ticket just like everyone else!” And because that is the thing I am terrified of happening, I try to get my mum to back down.

I’m sat there, blubbering quietly, trying to use hand gestures to get my mum to back down. I just want it all to stop. Eventually the woman calms down and goes back to clapping and laughing like everyone else. I wipe away tears through the rest of the show.

When the show finishes, she quickly gets on her coat and tries to move out as fast as she can. I don’t know if she thought my mum wild deck her, but I know my mum absolutely wanted to.

If she’d stuck around after, I would’ve told her how awful she was and that she shouldn’t speak to autistic people that way. But she ran like a coward. I hope she never has an autistic family member, because I am sure she would be even worse to them.

Some NTs are just terrible, selfish people who think they’re more important than anyone else.
