#just sayin#kinda hate that we'd sooner make a whole new word for people that are slightly different than another group of people#just bc they don't want to be associated#and hope that having a new label will change how they're treated#when the real actual issue is how people treat each other to begin with#labels are shitty bandaids for bigger problems that no one wants to tackle at the root and im sick of it!!!#i dont care if it takes generations of work to change#it has to start somewhere!!!#needlessly adopting new labels to save onesself from being treated like they have another label just enables monolithic thinking!!!#we could have a billion labels and people will still be shitty and monolithic about it if they aren't taught not to!!!#escapism is not a cure!!!#lisa meme#lisa simpson#meme#sorry had a long talk about autism and how it's treated and trying to separate asperger's and autism just aint gonna fix shit#how about just making sure we have specialists or treatment that are INFORMED about the differing needs across the spectrum#and specialists for those different spots on the spectrum#instead of just trying to distinct ourselves from those with “lower functioning”#and dont forget that legally identifying yourself as more functional will just#give our current doctors/legislature MORE reason to deny us treatment#as someone who gets denied treatment again and again and again for being too functional you DO NOT want a legal distinction!!!#you want to CHANGE THE FUCKING SYSTEM not YOUR LABEL!!!
