I don’t talk about Autism for sympathy or pity. I talk about it so autistic people stop thinking they’re broken and so families stop making us their trauma story.
Help, not pity.
And if an autistic person tells you something is bothering them, believe them. You don’t get to decide our sensory limits. If it's not loud, bright, or itchy to you, that Just means you don't have our nervous system.
The fastest way to help us is to stop arguing with our experience.
