can we stop saying touch of the tism. you're either autistic or you're not. i am so tired of neurotypical ppl talking about us like this tbh, it's not some cute quirky trait. (from an autistic person)

It's not a touch of the tism. There is no such thing and you either are autistic or you're not. Sure you may have lighter or heavier presentations and therefore require more or less external support in daily life but that does not mean severity. A person who is verbal and has a job and friends is just as autistic as a person who's non-verbal and does not contact with people to a socially expected degree and they need substantial support from a permanent carer, for example.

Are you sure it’s the autism or are they a dismissive avoidant that feels more safe fulfilling their own needs

That’s right. We HATE being lied to, cheated on, or bullied. And if people do that to us we put a stop to it, and may not give you another chance because you broke that trust. To let someone in our world is a big deal, and once it’s been contaminated it’s a big NO!!!

Touch of a tism sounds dangerously close to “everyone’s a little autistic”

weird_honeyy :
We don’t have “a touch of the tism”. We’re just autistic. But id change that to “a healed autistic”. When I was still heavily masking, I did not have firm boundaries or really any at all because I didn’t know how to defend myself and was constantly questioning my own reality.

We are suffering from chronic illnesses directly tied to how much we have been stressed tf out. We literally cannot afford to be around people that make our nervous system unsafe because it actually could harm us in more ways than one. 😭
