    Marvel. Hear me out. Just… replace him.
    A side-by-side of pictures of Chris Pratt and Patrick Wilson, to show how similar they look.

    Just get a different actor to play him in every scene. Never comment on it. Patrick Wilson. Will Arnett. Jack Black. Etc.

    The internet *is* real life. The distinction you're looking for is in-person vs. online, or physical vs. digital. It's not real vs. imaginary. The things said and done here have real consequences, and can hurt (or help) real people.

    No matter how exhausting you think living with a neurodivergent person is I promise you it is more exhausting being neurodivergent in a world where people treat you like a burden for not meeting neurotypical standards.

    The Venn diagram of people who think it’s fine for kids to be forced to remain pregnant, give birth, and be responsible for a baby, and people who think kids are β€œtoo young” to know that they’re trans and receive affirming medical care is just a circle.

    An excellent choice, no doubt. I just like Patrick Wilson bc some people wouldn’t even notice the switch. πŸ˜‚

    This interaction is deeply upsetting. All over this thread I see autistic people genuinely and kindly trying to help a parent understand, and the response here in particular had me sobbing bc I’ve experienced that same accusation even after explaining myself. /1
    A screenshot of a conversation on twitter. Lara Bradford: Genuine question - if the terms Aspergers and high functioning are deemed inappropriate or outdated, what is the correct term to use? CraftySpaceGeek: Autism. It's all Autism. Lara Bradford: The reason I ask is my teenager is autistic, but this would not always be apparent to people he comes into contact with. When talking to teachers etc I need a way to describe where he is on the spectrum in a way that they can easily understand. Becca, Murder Hornet: Talk about specific areas where he may need more support than someone who is allistic as well as accommodations he might need (ex. Light sensituvity/sunglasses), you could also discuss as any areas where he may have greater strengths than is typical. Lara Bradford Is there a shorthand term which NT people ((continued next screenshot))
    The second screenshot: Lara Bradford: Is there a shorthand term which NT people would understand quickly though, like those mentioned previously? Becca, Murder Hornet: The issue is that they don't actually understand when you use shorthand. Instead, they will make assumptions and some of them may be right, but many of them won't. Becca, Murder Hornet: This article might help you understand. neuroclastic.com "Autism is a Spectrum" Doesn't Mean What You Think Lara Bradford: As a mum of an autistic person I understand ((continues next screenshot))
    The third screenshot. Lara Bradford: As a mum of an autistic person I understand plenty. What I am trying to do is communicate my child's needs to those who don't, in an easy-to-understand format. Becca, Murder Hornet: I wasn't talking down to you if that's what you think. That article helped me to understand things and I'm autistic. What needs do you think are clearly conveyed by the words "high functioning autistic"? Lara Bradford: You know it's weird, I expected more support on here from the autistic community. What a shame you can't discuss this in a helpful way.
    The final screenshot. Becca, Murder Hornet: I'm trying. I legitimately was not talking down to you. We tend to be straightforward and honest and I fit that particular stereotype or generalization. I just want to work through the logic of it with you. Becca, Murder Hornet: From what I understand, when you say "high functioning usually what most people understand is that the person will likely not be non-speaking or have a co-occurring intellectual disability. That's about it. It doesn't tell you what the person's needs are at all. Becca, Murder Hornet: And our needs can be really variable, not only if you compare between different autistic people, but even the same person on different days or in different situations. Becca, Murder Hornet: I am 100% speaking to you earnestly here, but in order to help, I would need to know what your thought process and knowledge base is and I can't do that if you don't tell

    Racism is a problem in, uh, literally every white community. Yes, even if that community is marginalized.

    CBT is ableist with strong gaslight and victim blaming vibes and you can’t change my mind.

    It hurts so much to be constantly misunderstood and misrepresented no matter how clear and genuine we’ve been bc nts expect us to communicate like them. And this wasn’t the only occurrence. Several people explained clearly the issue and she just kept rephrasing her question /2
