We don't have a different colour, we don't have a different religion, we don't have a different sexual orientation, etc., and if we do, it's not because we're autistic.
So what is autism for them? It's our "excuse" do act in a different manner. They just cannot accept that we're different. So if we someone weird is autistic, but makes a major effort to fit in, they say that he's okay, because he manages to fit in, more or less, but then they blame him for claiming that he's autistic, and "using" that as an "excuse" to be weird.
Face it, the world doesn't want us to be who we are. They want us to be like them, and if we manage to do it, they'll blame us for not being 100% like them. So I prefer not trying in the first place. The hell with them.
And yes, call me a loser, but like Black Flag sang, albeit in a different context - "we're fighting a ware we can't win".
Blame weird on a societal norm expectation, weird not being accepted is the sole reason and burden of autism and then it all amounts to discrimination and tolerance is the solution for autism. Just doesn't cut the cake and I don't like the icing here. How about ice cream of any kind just not the above as the totality of the problem.
true, it is a major hindrance for many and for me the biggest, but i still have issues beside what tolerance can "treat", my sleepless nights and inevitable "burnouts" for example.
now these issues cn be remedied in other ways, but public opinion is the issue that is hardest to do anything about, as it involves a lot of personal fear for many people, about many issues besides autism as well.
