So many people are thinking autism is a joke. A disease. An excuse for something. Something that doesn't exist, something that's just new in today's time. But it's not. Autistics have always been here and we have unique needs and challenges that require people to support us in certain ways. I specify that I'm autistic as an explanation for things. It is a reason for why I do what I do. But that's it.
I'm just very scared because people seem to take people's humanity for granted. Yes we all have issues but why can't we treat one another kindly?
