I think I just realized why autistic burnout is so bad.
It's because when neurotypical people reach their limits, they can't go on.
When autistic people reach their limits, they continue because they know they have to continue to be considered valuable.

After reading so many articles about my dad, I realized something. Teachers are fucking liars, everyone plagiarizes. Like 80% of the articles are copy paste from another website.
And *that* is why being autistic can be so damn isolating, even with everyone around you having good intentions, or trying to "help" by saying "you're fine! It's okay, it's not too loud [for me]!"
Little late to say this, but I’m so proud of my dumb brother. The dude got engaged over the weekend. It a big moment for anybody, but especially for him because he acts like a kid half the time. Anyways good job Hobie.
