It's so impossible to interact with people online in a normal way and i don't understand why
#this girl made a video titled “when my family dont expect me to go nonverbal the rest of the day after telling me to shut up”
#but she meant like
#voluntarily choosing not to speak to them for the rest of the day
#not actually going nonverbal
#so i politely pointed out that hey that term has a very specific meaning
#and that it can hurt those of us who struggle with going nonverbal when people portray it as just a choice bc we cant help it
#the amount of times ive been yelled at for not replying when im nonverbal bc the person thinks im just choosing to be rude and not answer
#and this random person who said they were also autistic came into my replies to tell me im an idiot
#because non verbal just means “without speech” and non-verbal communication exists
#so i tried to point out that i didnt say the word nonverbal itself is a problem in general
#just that the phrase “going nonverbal” is specific to the experience of involuntarily losing your use of speech
#so it is incorrect and a bit ablist to throw it around willy-nilly and dilute what it actually means
#and then they had a go at me because “you people” are always changing definitions on a whim
#and im getting dogpiled by the original video creator and a bunch of other people
#like i wasnt even rude at first i just pointed out that thats not what the phrase means
#so now im shaking bc im so mad at someone who claims to be autistic themselves going so far out of their way to defend the creator
#but now my body is just filling up with the anger and i feel like my skin is covered in electricity
#amd it has nowhere to go bc i blocked the creator to stop myself carrying on bc i could feel myself getting overinvested
