“You’re so funny” thanks, my parents used my autism diagnosis as an excuse to get on rides faster at an amusement park. They also lied about me being ‘high support needs’ and ‘unable to wait on lines’. I was waiting on a line for a water slide and the attendant working there was telling me ‘one at a time’ which I didn’t know since it was my first time. My mom whispered to her, and I quote, “she’s on the spectrum” first of all, *he. Secondly, you don’t need to say that for every minor inconvenience. I honestly didn’t give a fuck but my mom was mad at that woman. When I was a little kid, my mom brought up “declassification”, an ableist term describing getting autism taken off of my diagnosis. My mom also cried when I got my adhd diagnosis. Plus everyone cares about me too much and treats me differently because I’m neurodivergent. I made a joke about killing myself when I was really mad and I had to be evaluated at a hospital and I was prescribed medication. Also, as a little kid my mom would stop me from stimming by telling me “flapping is for birds”
