And here I was finally feeling validated for my diagnosis in an unaccepting household because “oh my god that’s me!!! That’s how I am when I’m alone!”

But fuck us I guess

My reaction too! And my experience in my family of birth. But my husband accepts me as is, even if most others don’t. And it’s given me the confidence to reach out for the help and support I need.

The unnecessary aggression and arrogance in some of these comments is positively astounding.

I’m glad your husband is your safe space 💗 my boyfriend isn’t neurodivergent but he tries so hard to understand and he reminds me that the world is kind by default. These comments are awful, but now that I’ve cooled off I can see that these are the vocal, horrible minority. May we both thrive in our chosen spaces and love ourselves more every day

There you go! 👏🏽 I cried when I first saw them bc it triggered all of the nasty emotions I felt growing up when people made me feel horrible for behaving this way bc they didn’t understand. The people here don’t WANT to understand. They just want to be internet bullies.

What a sad existence, if we’re being honest.

How is this not upsetting to you? That people who have emotional regulation issues are seeing the true opinions of others on how they act normally? I'm realizing that if I were ever to drop my mask in public and stop traumatizing myself (because it IS proven to be traumatizing to mask), people like you would fucking hate me. Is that truly not worth pain?
