Sometimes I Feel Like People Forget Autism Is A Disability. And That’s Not A Bad Thing! I’m All For

sometimes i feel like people forget autism is a disability. and that’s not a bad thing! i’m all for disability acceptance, im proud of my disabilities. but i feel like we forget autism can hurt.

it hurts that i have to put more time and energy into socializing than others.

it hurts when i need to move so bad, usually cause im overwhelmed by either my surroundings or emotions, that i thrash and hurt myself.

it hurts that i cant be in places that are too loud or too bright, which on bad days can be as simple as a small, quiet noise or dim lights.

it hurts that i struggle to tell when im hungry, thirsty, tired, etc. so i can’t properly take care of myself. it doesn’t help my insomnia and i get very nauseas and get UTIs.

i 100% believe in autism acceptance. i don’t want a cure. but i also want us the acknowledge that it can hurt. it doesn’t mean my entire life will hurt, but some parts will. and i want a community where we can see both sides, see the hurt, and celebrate it anyway.

And it's completely valid if you mask it or keep it away, I do that too! (litlespace of 3-4 rn)

⟡ It's okay if you struggle to fully regress or are unable to regress at all.

⟡ Age regression doesn't always come easy, and you don't need to be able to regress in order to be valid.

⟡ Your experiences are just as important, and you're still a valid and welcomed member in the community, remember that ❤️

A four panel comic of Honeydew being forgetful. The comic is titled "Memory Lapse" and is made by Theresa Scovil.  Panel 1: Narration says "I know my forgetfulness can be annoying for you." Honeydew gives an apologetic smile as they say "Sorry! Sorry!" to a person off panel. Panel 2: Narration says "But it's terrifying for me." The corners of the panel start becoming cloudy as Honeydew looks sad while they think to themself "What else have I forgotten?" Panel 3: Dark clouds surround Honeydew as they grab their head and think "How much of my life have I forgotten?" Panel 4: Honeydew is surrounded by darkness as they cover their face with their hands and think "What's wrong with my brain? Why does this keep happening? How long until I can't remember anything?"

Things like depression, anxiety, and a whole host of other things can really mess with a person's memory.
