I wear a dog collar to school. Yes, every day. Yes, it has a tag and spikes. Do I get stares? Yeah. People don't really say anything to me about it, and if they do, they're- like- freshmen. i don't care about the opinions of 12-14 year old boys. the only thing i really do get for my collar is people either being passive-aggressive (two can play at that game), or i get people complimenting me on it. nobody has ever threatened me over it.
I don't wear a tail. i used to. i've had people take pictures of me, threaten to jump me, yell slurs at me, follow me home... so i stopped.
I didn't stop wearing a tail because I'm ashamed of who I am. i stopped wearing a tail to protect myself and people around me. because no amount of showing off and being proud is worth getting hurt over, or getting other people hurt over.
be open when it's safe to be open. your personal expression is not worth putting yourself into danger.
The rich will act "like they understand you, in the back of their jet. When you can't put gas in your tank. These f*ckers are laughing their way to the bank and cashing their check, asking you to have compassion & have some respect."
Things that society considers autism an excuse for
Nazi salutes
sexual assault
Things that society considers autism not an excuse for and things that people think children who do should be met with violence
using the wrong tone
showing too much or too little emotion
asking questions and having an authority figure take it as "arguing"

Honestly, y'all, I'm begging you. Take the time to think and learn for yourself. Even if it's just something casual like knitting or cooking. Exercise your brain. It's important.
queer in the way cryptids from small town folklore are queer. send post.
it shouldn’t be taboo to admit that there are disabled people who are more or less disabled than you.
i consider myself mid support needs. i am in pain every day of my life, all the time, and am significantly impaired by that. i can’t work full time. i require significant support to get through the day. i need my service dog to function properly. i can’t live alone, at least not right now. i can’t effectively mask my autism.
but i still have privilege over other disabled people. i can walk. i don’t have to worry about wheelchair accessibility when i travel. i have no visible deformities or intellectual disabilities. i am verbal.
some people are more disabled and others are less disabled. it’s okay. it doesn’t mean that you’re not valid or that you don’t deserve help. it just means you do not have the exact same needs as someone else.
