i hate how autism is viewed

[maple]

i 100% agree with everything youve said meow. in school i was always treated differently and it only pushed me to be more isolated. i just wanted to add in my two cents on this statement here:

this would take resources away from those who need them more

i get what you mean and i think if you genuinely dont want to accept help from programs/stuff like that, thats okay!! but this statement isnt quite true, in fact, its the opposite.
when local, state, or federal programs or nonprofits offer assistance to certain groups of people, 99.99% of the time it actually helps MORE to accept it. many people have the same mindset that accepting it means someone else wont get it. but accepting it means the program can say theyre helping more and more people, which in turn, gives them more funding to help more people who need it. this applies to many things, its generally helpful to boost their program's metrics so they can receive more funding.

just my two cents, not trying to change your mind, but i hope this might encourage others to not feel bad about accepting assistance and stuff.

[snailbly]

@Sup3rSwaggyy1983 ngl I lowk like how some y2k girlies pull that brand off..

[Sup3rSwaggyy1983]

@SodaDoctor this is gonna be derailment, so I'll only type this reply..but juicy couture is actually so cute, like the brown sugar and black one is def my fave. I wanna buy a set, but they're so damn expensive the most I could hope for is 'undergarments' and maybe other accessories my mom likes juicy couture, so we'll see

I never say this to anyone at all because i'm scared that i'm get judged at and get bullied. I'm autism and other disabilities like Di George Syndrome, ADHD, speech problems. I'm 23 yrs old and my parents treats me like a lil kid even though i have a mind-set of a 5 years old. My body is like a grown adult but i'm 23 yrs Old. Somtimes i get frustrated at times when i get judged at. So foe me its really difficult to be autistic with Di George syndrome and a mind-set of a 5 yrs old
