My #ActuallyAutistic shower thought for the morning: Most NT folk think that accepting and including ND folk means being patient while we learn to fit into the NT norms, not making space for other norms to co-exist. They think their way is normal, healthy, and proper, so it's only natural for everyone else to adapt and conform. This is the mindset we have to change. We need space to be ourselves, not constant pressure to change into something we are not and never can be, and punishment and exclusion when we fail at that.
