I've had a lot of people tell me that I don't "look autistic" and I never have the heart to tell then that I'm really not comfortable with being told that because it can hold some pretty negative connotations.

Here's an idea: Let's get an organization that hates autistic people speak for autistic people! What could possibly go wrong!?!?

Dear Autism Speaks: A rebranding, and claiming that you want a kinder, more inclusive world doesn't ring true if you still support the same, awful practices.

You know how people say it's easy to spot a liar because they'll do things like stutter, sweat, and look away? That's just my natural reaction when I'm being accused of something no matter if I'm innocent or guilty.

I don't have a romantic bone in my body. Thankfully my partner's entire skeleton is romantic!

If my spouse tells me something important I need to write it down or there is a very likely chance that I will just completely forget it.

If everyone was a little bit autistic then being autistic would be the norm. We would be the typical neurotype, but we're not, because not everyone is a little bit autistic, so stop it!

I had the joy of arguing with an aspie supremacists online. It was like bashing my head into a brick wall. I really don't recommend it.

The easiest way for me to show that I empathize with someone is to explain by using examples from my life. I feel like if I don't prove to you that I understand then I'll just be seen as shallow.

Raising an autistic kid isn't always going to be easy, but loving, and accepting them for who they are should be.

I don't know why, or how I came up with the term "neurotypical skullduggery" but I love it, and shall make it a regular part of my vocabulary. For those wondering, skullduggery means underhanded or dishonest behaviour.

My husband got a taste of touch sensory overload one morning a while ago when he drank too much the night before. I wonder how much of a hangover for neurotypical people is just sensory overload.

Looking back at my old drawings is always painful. It's like "Wow! I really used to suck!". I'm sure in 5 years I'll feel the exact same way about my current work. At least I know I'm always getting better

As the child of an autistic man these sorts of people really get me mad! How can "I don't want a specific demographic to have children because I don't like certain aspects about them" anything but eugenics?

There are so many amazing parents of autistic children that actually treat their child like a human. They don't want a cure. And then there are THOSE parents. Anti-vaxxing, MMS using, pro Autism Speaks parents.

I have friends who suffer through a lot of pain, and/or have mobility issues, and the number of times they've been shamed for "being too young" to use a cane is beyond stupid!

I love spending time with my friends, but one day of socializing equals three days of recovery.
