Disabled humans who are victims of discrimination often need to document and create long journals of the process of events regarding our discrimination. For โthe recordโ. To be recognized. It causes even MORE trauma. Itโs an ableist practice.

My experience isnโt dissimilar to yours - diagnosed at the same age and mainly a cause of pain and difficulty. Thatโs the point. People think those of us who speak about it being hard are ableist. Itโs the opposite.

life as an autistic human can be nothing more than crying and wondering why the world is the way it is pain it's not always a superpower - it's not usually, even it's a disability and there is light, hope, and beauty at the same time

As a late identified autistic human you are allowed to have grief over your past while also being proud of you are & not wanting to change. Understanding that one is autistic can be both exciting and painful - an array of emotions. Having nuance doesnโt make you an ableist.

Do you see being disabled and neurodivergent as being part of the queer experience thru the lens of Queer Theory? If so, how and why? If not, why not? Note - This isn't a question asking if all autistic and disabled people are homosexual, bisexual, gender non-conforming, trans, enby, etc

When we go into Autistic Burnout we lose to ability to suppress our autistic traits via camouflaging & masking to the same extent.
Oftentimes, new traits โcome outโ, that we werenโt aware of before.
Has this been your experience? What were they?

Meltdowns, shutdowns, burnout, masking, and function all exist. But the way we think about them and define them is inherently not according to our own experience. We need a paradigm shift.

Most of the terms that are used to describe autistic inner experience were coined by allistic people. Even the ones that werenโt are almost always based in the neuronormative framework of โsocietyโ.

Acknowledging those life experiences might force them to rethink their behavior and prejudices and people don't like to realize they might have been wrong and might have wronged others.

The liberation found in Queer Theory is helpful with the journey of unmasking as an autistic human. Understanding autistic masking through its lens highlights the complexities of identity and the importance of creating inclusive spaces & a world where we can explore ourselves.

Neurodivergent folx can internalize Neurotypical social and behavioral norms and use them to oppress and abuse other Neurodivergent people. There are many reasons for this. That they have decided (by their choice or not) to perform Neurotypicality doesn't excuse their abuse.

I have spent my adult life stressing the need for autistics not to block out allistics from our life - promoting the idea that we don't need to live a life apart - that this world, with everyone in it, has what to offer for us. This is becoming increasingly harder to defend.

When NTs talk about themselves all day long and we try to empathize with them we are told we are self-centered. When we mention one tiny part of our life to NTs, we are told we are self-centered. When we voice a need to an NT, we are told we are self-centered. Interesting.

Yes, masking is about taking on identities of those around us. Masking is harmful. We also create our masks and imbue them with prices of our true selves, like any author. The challenge isnโt simply to โunmaskโ, but reveal the true piece of ourselves in our masks too.
