Story of my life right here, EVERY SINGLE neurotypical friendship I had other than my current college roommate (who is studying to work with autistic children as a teacher) was like this cause I was different and they couldn’t accept it even though some had it themselves and masked it
The worth, meaning, and enjoyment of your life is not determined by petty social horseshit - having the default experience means fuck all - it's not a health problem you need to overcome and feel like shit if you don't, it's an arbitrary bullet point. Rather than relating to how shitty that feels, we should be talking about why everything you want in life is still possible...
Bitterness sounds like something my sister would say. I guess I don’t feel the next to explain anything. Especially to a singular stranger on the internet. It’s not a personal attack. It’s just I don’t feel like spending the energy to try to give you my lifetime perspective. I do hope you have had a good experience bruh.
Yeah I mean I was never one to confront. I genuinely feel like it’s happening again in college, but I have no idea really. It’s just this one specific group of people but they act like they’re popular, and even if nobody really likes them, they can still indirectly influence others to view me as a “sped kid.” You do realize ugly people are their own social class and must play by different rules to normal people right? Even other autistics don’t like uglies.
This made me bust out laughing 🤣 wealth is the ONLY factor that dileniates class babe. Ugly people are beautiful to kindhearted folk, and there are plenty. Some truly mean spritz will say some naaaasty shit, but I swear no ONE likes those rude venemous people. Only wannabes and yes men, they hate them too deep down it’s suuper scary 🫣 idek!! But girl ur beautiful. And if you feel ugly GO SHOPPING, get a special treat. I’m gonna start a makeover business bc I just wanna help you so bad 😭
A combination of looking back at my younger years with the knowledge I have now, friends always eventually distancing themselves from me, other kids always messing with me for laughs, and even being straight up told at one point that nobody actually liked me, they just tolerated me
I’m really glad that your college roommate is like that. I’ve met plenty of people (mostly privileged neurotypical monolingual white women) studying to work with autistic people that are ableist, racist, or just assholes. And then they’ll talk to autistic people in a condescending tone. That’s one of the reasons why I want to become an SLP.
