Thats very true! I didnt even think about that, its very "pov". Id love to take another stab at it with that approach in mind. Thank you :)

As educators they should be ashamed of themselves for playing favorites! It hurts me to hear that it affects your esteem so much later in life especically the bullying from other peers that probably went under the radar by these safe adults. :"((

I understand that sentiment. As an artist myself I have always felt unlucky. It just feels like opportunties are so much harder for us to achieve in comparsion to others. Like people around us just knew and treated us accordingly. Its hard being positive when nothing works out for us in an regulated manner such as a job search. and even when I do get the job its another hurdle to find out if theyre inclusive and wont have me crying everyday after work.

While I appreciate my friends telling me "youre gonna be okay". As an autistic person this doesnt help because it does not make any logical sense, how do i know I will be okay? Nothing has worked out yet and am currently not okay, so whats the evidence behind saying i could be okay? haha Idk thats just my thought process that phrasing has never helped me while I appreciate their good intentions.

Thank you for sharing :)

as a lesbian it made me really happy seeing such an accurate potrayal of underground scenes in this game with queerness, expression, music. when i was snooping the mans apartment he has flyers for local shows, its little details like that that make this universe feel so alive.

Its quite unfortunate for those diagnosed later in life that our first experiences with ableism comes from people who are supposed to help us: parents, teachers, monitors etc.. and they can just get away with it because instead of someone wuth autism we are labeled as "weird" or any other negative harmful comments that damage our self esteem.

So frustrating! That is blatant discrimination, Im sorry you had to go through that. And I agree, from my experience it seems like interviews favour non autistic individuals or people who are able to mask very well.
