Thank you @commaficionado Despite being told 'It's the best time of your life' for some students the opposite can be true. Year 1 was a desperate time for me, never have I felt so isolated and alone and sad. New surrounds, the assumption I 'had' to make new friends.
Colleagues.The belittling comments by others 'of authority',or of 'greater knowledge' or discrimination by those that should know better has never stopped.But I have a voice too,one I might struggle to find, but one you can never ever take away from me.@RogersHistory #depression
To those that belittle me and dismiss me as unimportant because it is just who I am and it is what I do. To those that have smacked, hit, punched or pushed me because I can't fight back I'm just a child, I'm vulnerable and you the adult know that.
Me; 'Hiding and confused by the world (still only a teenager) #autistic #autism #depression #anxiety #Samaritans #teacher
Stereotypes,assumptions of others and demeaning language is a narrative that far too many of us have to live and struggle with in our daily lives. Hurtful, belittling comments without the actual voices of those written about will only ever disempower. An autistic adult @guardian
Stereotypes, assumptions and demeaning language is a narrative that far too many of us have to live with in our daily lives. It is hurtful and dis-empowers. Sometimes I am just truly and utterly saddened by the words and actions of others. #autistic #autism #ActuallyAutistic
