Why tf is it that whenever somebody with autism does something common for autistic people, autism is never a valid excuse and they're pieces of shit? How fucking dare we have some struggles that make it hard to not be seen as awkward or creepy or whatever be society?

Like that post a whole ago where a teenage boy was getting mixed messages from a girl he liked, telling him she wanted to be friends but then accusing him off stalking her for trying to hang out. Assholes with allism judged the shit out of him in the comments, acting like he was antisocial and didn't respect consent bc he didn't understand how people with allism lie about their feelings to try "be nice". How fucking dare a literal teenage boy with autism not understand and respect the moment a supposed friend turns on them and makes him out to be a creep?

I wish all people with allism a very learn some fucking empathy you pieces of shit

They will always hate us for being autistic. Why do we ever bother giving them a single ounce of respect? Why not treat them like they treat us? Lie to their faces about what we want and make them feel like shit for not conforming to autistic standards? That would be a lot nicer than they deserve

A few assholes shouldn't result in a them/us divide.

Mutual compassion is necessary, and most people give it if met with it.

You're right, that thread the other day just made me feel really horrible. I had a similar situation when I was a teenager, where I asked out someone I was friends with and got rejected, and she said she wanted to be friends, but then acted like I was a creep bc I sat next to her on the bus like I would with any friend. She tried to get me kicked out of my group of friends too. All this while still claiming to be my friend and not giving me any idea of how she felt. Those cunts on that thread would call me a psycho creep for not just picking up on her negative vibes, or seeing through her lies. Seeing shit like that makes me never wanna interact with NTs again
