hot take but a lot of autism community "advice" is just like "don't listen to anyone criticizing your social behavior it's all just neurotypical bullshit" and idk like... i think it's gotten to the point where it's not always helpful

i remember a fellow autistic friend would tweet stuff like "ugh i hate how neurotypicals always criticize me for xyz" and i was like hmm, well i also have a huge problem with you doing that and you won't listen to me either or even admit that you have boundary issues

like you gotta learn to recognize ableism but also like, not trample all over people's boundaries in the process and just go full hyper-individualism mode either

it's not easy but that's the challenge of being autistic, honestly
