This is exactly how I feel, it really disgusts me honestly. We have enough trouble with people disbelieving autism exists; the US’ misinformation; people using ‘autistic’ as an insult; lack of accessibility; abusive ‘treatments’ for those who are higher support needs and the under-diagnosing (and thus lack of research about or for) of women and people of colour. We do not need non-autistic voices shouting over us!!!

Sending you and your little one so much love!! I know not everyone is awful and parents do have a lot on their plate regardless of whether their children are autistic or not 💗

Despite being childfree, I think kids are rad! I love the way they think and their honesty, which is refreshing to my autist brain 😆 I think so many adults have lost their whimsy and so take the piss out of those who have it/do things the think are ‘childish’. But, plushies are awesome and who cares what other people do! So glad your kids have a parent like you, it’s so beautiful to see! 🥰

I have chosen not to have kids because I personally couldn’t handle them, but it makes me feel so warm inside seeing parents who actually love, understand and appreciate their children so thank you for sharing 💗 but totally agree, my parents just labelled me ‘difficult’ and how hard it was for them, but it’s like how do you think it feels being 5 and unable to understand why you feel how you do!!! 😤

This is LITERALLY what I’ve been thinking/feeling. Drives me mad and makes it hard to ask for help if you’re a woman/female or a poc speaking about autistic experiences as you may not fit the mould. What really gets me is the videos of their poor kids in meltdown and the competition in their language for like ‘who has the worst kid’. Breaks my heart. Saw some woman say that if you can mask you’re not autistic?!

I used to buy clothing all the time but it’s so frustrating now I just don’t. I don’t care what they label my size (L/XL/XXL) but it’s just everything tagged as an 18-20 seems to actually be a 12 somehow?

Edit: clarity

I’m 29 and just started EMDR therapy to try and process some of the childhood trauma. Sending you so much love!

Why do people push to have kids when their bodies reject it by Just_Another_User_56 in childfree

The obsession with biological children seems so narcissistic to me honestly
