Spectrum-speculation - Autistic Earth Visitor

Thoughtful response

Can someone please explain how autism is something that is good?

Like…. I have a hearing loss that is super significant in my life and I am slowly losing the rest of my hearing and its actually awful because one day I will not be able to wake up and listen to music to start my day.

My hearing loss is a bad thing, its a disability.

I want answers. I have been socially brought up to view autism as this terrible thing that makes things harder for that person. I have been brought up to look at it like its Down Syndrome, that it will definitely fuck up the rest of those peoples lives and it will be very hard for them to live on their own.

I need to know why society thinks its bad and tumble thinks its good.

I need to understand.

I’m never quite sure how to conduct myself

“We seem to be forgetting what pragmatism and compromise and listening hard to the other point of view even feel like. Intransigence is confused with leadership. We seem increasingly in thrall to leaders who offer the seduction of unwavering solutions to complex and evolving problems. Activists on both sides of the political spectrum police allies and elected representatives for purity of thought and action, issuing anonymised threats to those who seek to express nuance or deviation.”

Current feeling: The you of today is just as wonderful as the you of tomorrow. You needn’t strive to be anything but true to yourself ♥️ . I’m in bad pain and I can’t really think coherently (it’s taken me all day to write this!) but that doesn’t mean that the me of tomorrow, who has less pain and can think clearly, is any more worthy of being listened to or taking up space. If you’re feeling pants today please take my love and hold it in your soul ♥️ . This hair was created with thanks to the @laurenrennells pin curl tool! It’s excellent for victory rolls and honestly one of the best things I’ve ever received in the post! (Not sponsored, I’m just obsessed with hair stuff 😅) .
