"MAYBE IF RESEARCHERS LISTENED TO AUTISTIC PEOPLE WITH THE GOAL OF UNDERSTANDING RATHER THAN "CURING" US THEN I WOULD HAVE AN ANSWER FOR YOU"
Neurotypicals refuse to understand that IT HURTS
I don't "dislike" loud noises, THEY HURT
I don't "dislike" bright lights, THEY HURT
I don't "dislike" when people ask open-ended questions when I'm overwhelmed, IT FUCKING HURTS !!!
They never believe me. They refuse to open their minds to things they cannot experience themselves. It's always "how can asking a complex question when you're overwhelmed cause genuine pain" and I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE IF RESEARCHERS LISTENED TO AUTISTIC PEOPLE WITH THE GOAL OF UNDERSTANDING RATHER THAN "CURING" US THEN I WOULD HAVE AN ANSWER FOR YOU
