the worst part about being an adult is thay its no longer socially acceptable to just roll down a really big hill and then run back up it and roll back down again. "oh is this a syphilis metaphor" passerby would ask. "is this for a tick tock". no i just wanna come home covered in dirt and scratches and bask in the the solace of childlike mirth

Wow, I initially intended on keeping my blog blank but I had to reblog this. This post essentially sums up a lot of my life if not all of it, and so many reasons why I never want to be hurt again. I've been emotionally hurt multiple times (the most recent being only yesterday), my trust in neurotypical people damaged permanently, faced a lack of understanding from far too many neurotypical people for years (and quite possibly forever), because of what too many neurotypical people just don't see (and don't understand, which might hurt more) in those who are neurodivergent. I've had to block a person before in the past on a different account because no matter how many times I tried to write explanations to help them understand in the best way I knew how, they just either could not or would not understand, I'll never know which because I'm done with that person. I've been blocked before seemingly without reason after a few days of talking, and I just completely crumbled inside because I couldn't ask why I was blocked and probably never will know why. I know it will hurt so much more if it turns out to be because of my trust issues and the fact that I keep low expectations in life, because all of the emotional blows I've suffered in the past have led to them.

This is why I ask that anyone who follows me to explain why they decided to follow me: I've been emotionally hurt before. I've taken blows to my ability to trust, damaging it further than ever before and increasing my trust issues when they're already so strong to begin with. On far too many occasions I've been left unable to shield myself when the proverbial knife stabbed me in the heart and left me to bleed out because I was done explaining to someone who just didn't understand my point of view whether they couldn't or wouldn't. I'm sure that many neurodivergent people have coping mechanisms to deal with things like this: questioning people who decide to follow me to gauge whether I can even consider trusting them or not in the future is one of mine. It's one of the only ways I can try to gauge whether a person can be trustworthy or not. It's one of the only ways I can try to predict whether they'll run away or not if they know this about me and I trust them by then. All of this can be considered part of a larger coping mechanism I'll probably have for the rest of my life: to never be emotionally hurt again if I can help it.

Why self-diagnosed autistics are valid

medical diagnosis can be expensive

humans are the experts on their own minds

family may prevent assessment

diagnosis criteria is a poor checklist of stereotypes

diagnosis criteria ignores gender, race, sexuality, culture & more

medical diagnosis confirms autism, but doesn't create it

discrimination within the medical profession may prevent diagnosis.

Assessment waiting lists often long

medical trauma may make assessment unfeasible
