i have autism, and it is really infuriating whenever i see people talk about autism like this.
for many people being autistic or neurodivergent is already difficult, but seeing people, especially politicians, talk about autism like its a disease that needs to be “cured”, or hearing about parents that act like an autism diagnosis is the end of the world, or others saying that neurodivergent people aren’t deserving of love just because their brains work a little different, makes it so, so much worse.
neurodivergent people are not failures. at all. and the people attempting to demonize us and dehumanize us just for being a lil different can go fuck off
(i feel like i didn’t word this very well but i hope you all reading this get my point)
serious post so please feel free to skip if you wish
something that really rubs me the wrong way is how people talk about autistic people. now i’m not autistic myself, but i am dyslexic (i’m not sure if that really counts as neurodivergent and i’ve always felt weird saying that, idk it feels minimising of people with other neuro-divergence like autistic people to me) and even i face a lot of assumptions that i’m incapable of reading or whatever, it’s annoying and belittling, especially when dyslexia makes you feel stupid on top of that. but the way folks talk about autistic people almost sees them as subhuman, as if they’re incapable of living meaningful lives and that its a travesty when someone is diagnosed as autistic. you see it a lot rn from america thanks to rfk jr (who i despise tbh), but even over here in the uk you have these anti-vax losers who would rather their kid get measles and risk serious health complications or death rather than being autistic (even though vaccines don’t cause autism). i hate how we see neurodivergent people as a failure, something to be corrected, its this idea that they are the weakest of our species and not just people who have brains that see the world differently. autistic people can and have done incredible things and i want them to thrive just as much as anyone else and i hate anyone, especially politicians, who see them as less valuable people just for being autistic, its disgusting and dehumanising.
its beautiful

happy new year 2025
as this year comes, i have a feeling of dread that i cant really explain. about the future in general. im not looking forward. it probably came from all the doomscrolling i did this year. i hope im proven wrong
i hope to get more things done this year because i lacked a lot of motivation to do things last year.
its that time of year again:
my top artist was crumb, and i was in the top 0.05% of listeners
my top song was my love mine all mine and i was in the top 0.05% of listeners
