I'm sorry this happened to you, anon.

If it helps at all, I promise to remember this comment if I'm ever feeling aggravated by people like the ones you're describing. I'll think about your comment, and about how the majority of autistic people are like you, so that I don't end up feeling angry at an entire group of people who deserve support, simply because there are a vocal few who use their status as an excuse to be jerks.

AYRT

Thanks, that means a lot. It bothers me that on Tumblr you are either a perfect cinnamon roll or you are problematic trash and the line between that is saying or doing one thing wrong at the wrong moment.

I think it shows what kind of loyalty people have if they think status is more important than friendship or a person's feelings. It's hypocritical seeing them act like they're above criticism when they won't offer the same leeway to someone else.

Sometimes I ache to say "we can't expect neurotypicals to respect us if we don't show them any respect."

Because I know I'll get a flood of "they never fucking respected us so why do we have to respect them?!"

Basic human respect is a given, yes. Everyone should get that.

Respect on a personal level, respect that gets you heard, has to be earned. The noisy "you're ableist!" portion of the autistic community can't grasp that and as a result they're screaming into the void.

Then again, autistic people's voices often get ignored anyway. I understand perfectly the frustration. But reblogging the post of a mom who talks about putting her child in ABA and calling her an abuser doesn't make anyone want to listen to us.

I really think a lot of them do that for the sake of being seen tearing another "awful autism mom" down and not for the benefit of the autistic kid being talked about in the post. What's more sad is those community members think they're helping when they aren't.

Mob mentality sucks. I hate that I can't say anything without risking being ostracized, betrayed and having my dox all over Tumblr.

I am frequently tempted to make a sideblog to say what I long to say, except I've already maxed out my sideblog limit, plus it'll get blocked in two seconds flat by everyone in the tag.
