I wish I could be unmasked and openly autistic but I already get so much shit from just cracks in my mask and slip-ups and I don’t know if I can afford it
#i want to hold my comfort item in public#i want to stim freely#i want to make only the eye contact i desire#i want to not force myself to use verbal speech when it hurts#i want to omit small talk#i want to use my fidgets and stim toys again#i want to wear the ear plugs or soundproof headphones i carry already without being harassed#i want to have structure#i want to wear my sunflower lanyard#i want to be able to use less ‘neurotypical passing’ stim toys like chewlery#i want to try aac on the occasions i would normally push myself to speak until burnout#i want to not force burnout in general#i want to use my authentic voice#i want to be less presentable to the neurotypical eye#and i want to be free
