I’m only alive because successfully killing myself is hard. Bernadette, she/her, smash bros addict, dog person, work addict, ruined beyond repair, stuck in the past. I will defend Amazon and Nintendo like they’re the parents I never had. They did, and will do, nothing wrong, ever.

    Anyone can have hobbies and enjoy things, even silly, obscure, or weird things. It’s not a “hyperfixation” if someone with some stupid disorder label on them enjoys it.

    Regardless of how stupid or silly the thing is, there are more neurotypical people very invested in it more than everyone else.

    Liking things is human, not some symptom of some stupid fucking disorder. Eradicate “hyperfixation” and “special interest”. Humanity is a fucking spectrum, no you can’t be more dIfFeReNt than everyone else, you’re not fucking special, stop fucking contributing to the abuse, division, and othering of humans.

    For fucks sake have you seen a Sanrio fan, Disney fan, superhero comic fan, or a sports fan? People with hundreds of Funko Pops of entire sports teams and movie characters? Yeah, neurotypicals who like stuff. But god forbid that person has a stupid disorder label on them, then at best society views them as a puppet controlled by their disorder, or at worst they’re abused into killing themselves, for being a human being who enjoyed things.

    Something tells me you had a real childhood where you went through real school and grew up as a normal child who made fun of short bus kids, then did some stupid online test popularized on TikTok, and now you reduce yourself to a disorder for clout. Then you spread harmful stereotypes that set disability rights back several decades, up to when they were left to die.

    Do you fucking realize that you’re literally doing the equivalent of being a Jewish person born 18 years ago, broadcasting that Hitler was right, that you control the media and banks and you’re the reason why everyone else is poor?

    You, all those TikTok disorder fakers, and adults who didn’t live their childhoods on the wrong side of life, are why several lives get ruined beyond repair. The “therapists” will see your stupid posts about how making furry characters and enjoying Sonic games are exclusively symptoms of autism, and abuse an otherwise independent child into a zombie. Literally the equivalent of using chemotherapy on a mosquito bite.

    Hobbies and interests are not disorders. Stop implying that crap, you’re ruining lives.

    Sincerely, someone who lost 20 years I’ll never get back, for endlessly creating characters and wanting to make games as a 6 year old.

    Unrelated rant don’t read this. I used to wish someone shot up my school, it would have made all of the staff (yes, every last one) look stupid for overlooking all the actually human students and searching me like I was guaranteed to be a shooter. Seriously, they’d open my laptop and remove the battery to ensure there’s no weapon hidden in it, open my 3DS and remove the cartridge and stylus, take the case off my phone, look inside my hat or unfold my beanie, run a metal detector all over me for like 10 minutes, then run it on my devices and whatever accessories I wore, then take each individual item out my bag and run a metal detector over it.

    Seriously, every day I’d be held up for at least 20 minutes because security needs to search my notebooks and pencil case (the latter had a metal zipper which they had to triple check so I just gave up on Having My Pens In A Case) and then empty my wallet and search all over it. As if I magically put a gun in my cardholder wallet that had only, you guessed it, cards. Because a stupid puzzle piece made me a terrorist. Right.

    When I had less things with me, that was scary because of that stupid fucking puzzle piece. I stopped eating lunch at school because I was tired of having my lunch box searched by ten separate people every day. But of course that stupid puzzle piece is why I don’t eat at school anymore. I used to play smash 3DS with others but I stopped bringing my 3DS, now I sit alone, and that’s scary, must be that stupid ass puzzle piece that made me a loner, and of course The Quiet Kid is Always The Shooter! Ugh.

    So I used to envy those who were actually involved in a shooting, as fucked up as that is.

    Schools where kids are treated like the picture in this post and educated with YouTube videos and free printouts. Having a problem with anything gets the kids treated like this picture, and they’re gaslit into believing their feelings are non-issues that don’t matter.

    The kids will deteriorate into zombies who don’t shower, because if they don’t like being dirty then they just need to get over it. They won’t wipe their ass anymore because wanting to wipe is just a spoiled attitude hissy fit tantrum and not wasting resources on non-issues is being good.

    Everything other than being a zombie robot that does exactly what it’s told immediately results in being this picture. Everything they remotely feel positive towards is used as a “reinforcer”, literally a bribe, or is used to emotionally abuse them, which always results in them losing interest in whatever the thing is.

    All schoolwork really is watching a YouTube video, answering questions and writing a summary of the video. Some subjects will be reading a book or passage, then answering questions and writing a summary.

    Gym is a reward if the whole 12-person class is good which never happens because suddenly a Star Wars shirt is inappropriate to wear and everyone is punished because you specifically decided to wear an inappropriate shirt with a weapon on it. Everyone else is told to “thank their friend” and are conditioned into hating you for ruining everything. So gym class becomes health class where you watch a YouTube video on health, answer questions and write a summary. In between subjects, you read a book. You’re not allowed to talk to anyone or do anything other than read. If you’re on a page for longer than usual, you’ll end up like the picture above because you’re throwing a fit because you don’t like reading.

    But why does the kid have physical coordination issues, trouble lifting anything over 10 pounds, zero healthy hygiene habits, and no hobbies or interests? Why would the kid never say anything if they need help or if something or someone is hurting them? Why does the kid never look at anyone’s face? Why can’t the kid concentrate on anything, even things they used to enjoy?

    Because autism. And the ABA school is helping, so no you can’t go to another school. You’re only going to have violent meltdowns at worst and stare into space at best in a regular school where no one gets manhandled for holding in a sneeze. You only don’t like school because it isn’t playing video games all day, so you just need to get over it, spoiled.

    I’ll be permanently mentally and physically stunted for the rest of my life, and that stupid puzzle piece will be blamed on it, while credited for every positive thing I ever accomplish. Fuck that puzzle piece. It’s not even a real disorder, it’s just an excuse to neglect and abuse a kid instead of putting effort into knowing them.
