Exhibit A:
Mom: "Why can’t you just act normal? If you keep acting so weird, I’m gonna have to ‘sent you to a mental hospital’"¹
Mom: “There are kids with severe disabilities and they still want to live, why are you such a coward and wanna kys?”
Idk mom, maybe because they have more supportative parents…
¹Also we’re in the US right now, not back home, you need a court order for that, you fucking bitch
Use that anger towards your parents in a constructive manner by putting some cash aside, making a plan, getting as far away from them as possible and cutting them out of your life permanently. Maybe they’ll get the message that they reap what they sow.
I survived. In spite of everyone and everything. I hope you can too. Find peace in something.
Autist tran here. Shit’s hard, but there are so many parts of this world that are better for you being here.
Hold onto the anger, it will keep you alive. Find a professional to help you learn how to navigate the normie world, because your parents clearly won’t. Find your success in your own terms.
Being disabled is difficult, and I don’t want to downplay that. But just to give you a bit of hope: I’m happily married to an autistic guy and have two autistic kiddos (one is pretty severe). Keep an eye out for your people - they are probably looking for you too.
