@actuallyautistic My autism doesn't make me disabled, SOCIETY makes me disabled.

@actuallyautistic How do y’all deal with people who say that autism doesn’t even exist, and that it “suddenly” cropped up over the past few generations because people have been “mentally coddled”? Somewhat in the same vein as “there is a diagnosis epidemic” but much more extreme.

@chevalier26 @actuallyautistic This is a MAJOR peeve of mine, and a serious rant trigger (I'll try to contain myself 😬)

I've had this said to me, and every time, they regretted it! It's willful ignorance. They're denying the existance of medical advancement. There never used to be cancer, heart attacks, stroke, germs etc, but we were dying from them, all the same. Just because we haven't identified a condition, doesn't mean it hasn't always been present.
"There were no autistic kids in my school"... OF COURSE THERE BLOODY WERE!!! The quiet ones, the "weird" ones. The ones that used to chew things, or was obsessed with trains/stats/whatever. We were ALWAYS there, you just didn't have a name for us. You DID know we were different, so you attacked us. Now you feel guilty for attacking a "disabled" person, so you deny our condition.

Sorry. I'll stop now 🤐

@chevalier26 @actuallyautistic I belive it's pack mentality. Anything percieved as different aka "not normal" is a threat to them. Now, they're being told we're all around them, and they can't easily identify us. Their world view is crumbling, and their primitive brain is having a meltdown lol
