what if i said it feels like "late diagnosed autism" is often used in a way that feels like aspie supremacy

because what do you MEAN "POV your late diagnosed friend is stimming" "the high school trauma that comes w/ late diagnosis" as if those aren't near-universal autistic experiences??

is it internalized ableism, a way to distance themselves from the Autistic stereotypes? or do people just genuinely think that early diagnosis <2015 gave people access to genuine & sympathetic assistance 😭

#in 2010 you didn't get told about masking or burnout you just got called the R word!!!#there is obviously a certain kind of trauma that comes with being undiagnosed ND for so long #and LD people need to have a safe space to discuss that experience #(i'm late diagnosed adhd btw)#BUT #why is ALL of the 'autism in women' stuff using late diagnosis like a disclaimer even when the video is unrelated to diagnosis age #autism #ableism #delete later ig 😭😭😭
