Esme Weatherwax II #K.J. Elphinstone MxOolong SeekingRadicalJoy TheAutisticAdvocate I left every Facebook autism group because all the people there were ageists. I saw one older man dogpiled and bullied out of a group due to his age. Young autistics just want to go on about how we are all rich and right wing and simply ignore how we really are.

There's the exhaustion that comes w/ coping w/ trauma responses & intrusive memories all every day. Then there's the exhaustion that comes w/ trying to pretend that you're "FINE" to the rest of the world. Lots of ppl reading this are the kind of "tired" words can't explain.

It starts with compassion. It starts with kindness. It starts with YOU. Thank you 방탄소년단 for speaking up against discrimination and inspiring young people to understand and appreciate difference. #BTSLoveMyself #ENDviolence
