Internalized ableism is so pervasive in our society that it’s affecting you in ways you’ve been trained not to notice. Ways that you may be discriminating against yourself, and giving yourself a harder time than you really need to. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙩'𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙛𝙖𝙪𝙡𝙩.

It's the CAN'T culture: The C̲apitalist, C̲olonized, A̲bleist, N̲eurotypical, and T̲raumatized culture, the society we live in. It's not you.

Autistic people are famously fond of logic, and data.

We’ve also repeatedly ‘failed’ in tests designed to evaluate our empathy.

Tests which I found more interesting as a ‘spot the assumption’ exercise than serious research – or at least, serious research into what the studies professed to be about.
