It is seen as more socially acceptable to say I am sensitive to noise and like routine that disclose I’m autistic…

Overthinking should probably be a separate branch of art or subject under psychology, philosophy or literature. Because we become more stressed when we think over smth and it's not accepted by ppl (a feeling of being unfit in the society). We are afraid that it is abnormal. Bro! Even great existentialists of the 19th century faced this unrecognised condition. But see now, they'll be proud of themselves and their ideas in heaven.

Ugly things, unwanted things, things that couldn't possibly belong in the sublime white chamber of the gallery.

Every human deserves respect, PERIOD.

Babies need to be fed like everyone else. It would be better to be accepting of breastfeeding in public.

The argument is this damn stupid

Realized there’s a difference between social awareness and social acceptance and a lot of the former has occurred through the last two to three decades but the latter is more influxive. ◞ ̑̑

Andy was the chief psychiatrist. It's the typical psychiatrist's situation: on the couch, you begin to be totally yourself, hide nothing, this person won't react, just listen to you. Andy was such an open psychiatrist with all those sad, confused people. They used to come and feel at home. There was this person who never disapproved of them --- 'Nice, nice, good, oh, beautiful.' They felt very much received, accepted. [...] Also they felt that when Andy put them in front of the camera, they could do and be themselves, thinking that this is what they can contribute, now I'm doing my thing.

Do you know that the difference between social acceptance and social disgrace can be measured by what pair of knives and forks you use, or where you put your glass after taking a sip of wine? And don’t even think about the princes from other countries–all second sons–who keep bringing you wild animals because they’ve heard you love hunting....

I am by no means an expert but it seems to me “your body does not belong to you” is a major theme of right wing authoritarianism and, interestingly, modern USAmerican thinking. This underpins so much from abortion to forcing kids to hug their relatives. Your body belongs to the state, or God, or your husband, or your boss, or your doctor. Everything from trans and gay liberation to forcing autistic people to look in your eyes to making cashiers stand for no reason. Your body does not belong to you, but taking care of your body is your responsibility and your responsibility alone, and if you fail in some way, you deserve the consequences.
