When I get insulted by people whose opinions don't matter to me I can shrug it off pretty easily.
When a loved one gets insulted by ANYONE I'm ready to throw down, Canadian style!

And this is one reason why I still wear a mask when I go out. I never know when a random coughing fit may happen simply because I suck at swallowing my own spit.

The downside to having the same sense of humour as someone you're close to is that they sometimes steal your jokes.

I verbally stim when I'm really happy. People used to bully me for it so I learned to be ashamed of it. Now, years later, my partner has helped me unlearn that shame, and embrace my verbal stims.

I hate going to the dentist! I had a gap between two of my molars so I couldn't chew on the right side of my mouth for 2 1/2 years before finally getting it fixed. That's how much I avoid the dentist.
No hate towards dentists though. You do important work, and I respect that.

Nothing like having random people tell me what I should do with my body and life. Ugh.

More people getting diagnosed, especially when they're still children, is a good thing! This isn't an epidemic. This isn't over-diagnosing. This is more and more autistic people being properly diagnosed.

Functioning labels are a common way autistic people are denied support.
High functioning? You're fine without support. Low functioning? You're not high functioning enough to determine whether you need support or not.

I can't just sit and rest without feeling like I'm wasting time. It's like I have a choice: be productive, or be anxious.

I've been accused of being in a hate group, as well as a cult, all because of my advocacy.
