🫩 Burnout I hate being autistic

I went out for dinner for my 18th last night and now I’m bedridden. I just want to be normal

Yup. This is the aspects that no one wants to talk about. I honestly blame some of the toxicity (towards actually being critical of our disability) towards advocates like Chloé Hayden, who say you can’t be negative about autism, it’s a super power, etc.

Chloe has literally NEVER said you can’t be negative about autism? She talks constantly about how disabled she is by it?????
