This is what I sound like talking about my current hyperfixation to people

I hate how oddly sexualized breasts are, and how oddly sexualized bedrooms are, and I hate how anything not inherently sexual gets sexualized, it was hot outside and me and my boyfriend were watching his friend repair his truck at my house and I had a shirt off and only my binder on since yk it was hot out, and the other guys also had their shirts off and it was considered fine, but when me and my boyfriend went to go relax in the ac in my room I changed from my binder to a sports bra cause my ribs hurt and kept a shirt off cause I was still sweating a lot and really hot, and my mom came in complaining about how I need to wear a shirt and how it's weird to wear only a bra in a bedroom with your significant other even though she knows I'm ace and she thinks it's weird since he isn't ace and I have breasts and bedrooms are sexualized, why is it okay to not have a shirt as one assigned gender and not the other, why are certain environments more sexualized than others, it makes no sense especially since we weren't doing anything sexual, neither me nor him made it weird, but my mom was making a huge deal out of having tits in a bedroom
maybe it's cause I'm autistic or maybe cause I'm asexual but I think the oversexualization of literally everything is weird

Nah man having intense hyperfixations as a neurodivergent person is probably the most isolating feeling in the world
Like all I can think about is this specific thing but I'm not allowed talk about it because it doesn't interest anyone else around me. So instead it just builds up to the point where I feel like I'm going to explode

All of you complain about overstimulation and sensory overload
We need to talk about under stimulation. I’m not saying I want to be overloaded with information. No I mean when I get panic attacks because there is not enough self stimulation in a situation. I have to walk out of meetings to pace around and think to calm myself down because my fight or flight response has activated from being not being able to stim.
I get so anxious when I cannot listen to music or have something playing in the background because I need stimulation that I choose to have and which I have control over
It physically hurts my brain.

Neurotypicals all need to be reminded that if you made fun of someone in school for being “weird,” you were making fun of autistic people and that’s ableist and wrong. If you don’t educate yourself and change, you’re a bad person.
Things I saw kids get made fun of for:
Walking on their toes
Communicating directly
Not making eye contact
Making too much eye contact
Having special interests
Not having the right interests
Having few friends
Trying to make friends
Being “too” happy
Feeling overwhelmed
Being shy
Not talking much
Talking too much
Having fun being silly
Being serious
Doing well in class (nerd)
Doing poorly in class (stupid)
Any noticeable stims
The way we eat
A lot of other shit
Yeah, those kids were neurodivergent and you were an asshole to them. Do you see all the contradictions in that list? You never actually had a problem with anything we did or didn’t do. You had a problem with our existence. The way we talked, walked, breathed, you bullied us for it.
What’s even more disgusting and insane:
Lots of these kids chose to spend their elective periods with the special ed kids class. Lots of them grew up to be teachers, SpEd teachers, psychologists, etc. not because they want to help autistic people, but because they want to feel superior.
A big fuck you to all of the bullies and jerks that treated us like shit simply for being different from you.
I hope you’ve changed, but I know you probably haven’t. You’re doing the same shit, all that’s changed is you’re getting paid for it now. Go to hell. (A very particular section of hell where you’re marginalized for your neurotype and forced into ABA therapy and treated exactly how you treated us).

Black Autistic Culture is people not believing you're autistic while also critiquing you on everything you said that was "disrespectful" and "rude" as well as telling you to learn how to talk right.

My entire childhood: Don't use that tone with me!/Don't talk to me like that!/Why do you have such an attitude?
Me, who didn't know about autism: What?

"Autism mom" organizations treating autism like a horrific disease in the 90s did so much harm to autistic people. Still today people are torturing autistic children in an attempt to exorcise the autism from their bodies to get back their healthy normal child. People aren't giving their kids necessary vaccines out of fear they might catch this horrific illness. All because these organizations painted autism as a horrific illness stealing healthy children from their loving parents instead of just like, people with slightly different brains that can be accommodated.

Avoid the Tone Problems with these Helpful Phrases
These are aimed a little more towards a professional/office environment but they can also be helpful in daily life.
 "Have you considered..."
Useful for presenting an alternate opinion in a softer way. I like this approach because it leaves the other person room to present me with additional information about their decision-making process. Often, there's a reason for the decision that I'm not seeing.
 "Maybe I'm confused/misunderstanding but..."
This one is nice where I've been told to do something one way but am being presented with something contradictory.
 "I'm unsure about how to go about..."
I like this one when I'm being asked to do something I don't think makes sense (or if I actually don't understand).
 "My understanding about <thing> was <whatever>. Do you have any additional context you can share?"
Another good one for if I'm getting conflicting information from different source.
"I have some concerns about <whatever>"
This is nice for starting about a conversation about something I'm being asked to do that doesn't make sense.
"You might already be aware of but…"
This is good for sharing information without making someone feel called out for not knowing something.

one thing I've noticed with being autistic is my innate sense of justice
people tend to be so passive to awful injustices and say "well it is what it is"
but I can never see it that way
how can people be so dismissive of other human beings and their lives? how can we reach equality when every person has such a selfish point of view?
it's really horrifying, and yet we're considered the ones with no empathy
