Fuck you

So , let me get this straight. After going through childhood wondering if there was something wrong with me or that I was "stupid" . I finally get an explanation of why I tick they way I do so maybe just fucking maybe I can figure out how to work with it and overcome my weaknesses, but now even that's taken away and I have to go with just a fuzzy 'mildly autistic' rather than a specific, clear diagnosis that explains and spells out everything.

and now I have to deal with the "lol autistics are so pathetic and funny" as well as being told I don't have anything , it's all in my head, I'm just lazy. Or "your disorder doesn't exist, you're just a dumbass"

Because just wanting a specific diagnosis makes me a "speshul snowflake". It's not a label for me. It's not a reason I'm a super secret misunderstood genius it's not a get out of jail free card. It doesn't make me better than you or anyone. It's just an explanation and a small comfort knowing that there's a name for it and a reason for it.

I'm sick of being fucking ridiculed because of this small aspect of me. "it's just in your head it's not real you're just lazy" is JUST as insulting as "you're just retarded".

Scoffing at a person with a disability and telling them that it's all made up and they're just a special snowflake who wants attention. Or that they're faking it for attention or money is a form of intolerance against people with disabilities.

I'm sorry, all I want is to have a clear definition of what I have. I don't want it so I can wave it to get me out of trouble or hurt you in any way. I just want it because it helps me personally.

Yeah, yeah. No one thinks autistics are funny, now do your party piece where you rattle off the team roster for the NY Giants 1827-1933. And don't forget to touch your nose three times too.

*applauds you*

I was officially diagnosed with Asperger's a couple of years ago. At first the diagnosis was really hard to take, but it has since helped me to understand I'm not just stupid and dumb because I struggle in some ways.

I try to stay away from areas where people would be insulting about it, though. Life's hard enough. Don't let the haters get to you like this! ((Hug))
