Society gaslights autistic people into believing they’re the problem. The system is set up so that autistic people always fail. It then blames and gaslights you into thinking that it’s your fault.

If autistic people can’t get or maintain jobs it’s not a personal failure. It’s a failure of the system. There are so many arbitrary rules and barriers that prevent autistic people from just doing an actual job. Autistic could probably a job better than neurotypical people a lot of the time. It makes no sense why they wouldn’t just make it more accessible for autistic people to get jobs.

It’s so fucking unfair how bad society makes you feel for failing when it’s completely built against you.

Some older guys I know never stop talking about how everything was better in the 80's and 90's. It's probably true, but it drives me insane how they never stop talking about it and haven't moved on.

It's just fucking depressing at a certain point.

I turn 27 in a month, and I hate birthdays. It's just a reminder of all the different milestones I have failed to reach and how much of a freak I am for not being able to achieve them. Employment, getting into a relationship, and maintaining friendships. The average person achieves these things naturally.

I'm getting to an age where people stop giving me the benefit of the doubt. I may already be past that age.

I feel so much existential dread right now. I can only imagine how much worse it will be over the next 10 years.

I'm almost 27, and I have zero dating experience. It's feeling pretty over. A woman would have to look past so many different things that are wrong with me. I am such a weird, dysfunctional person. I feel like I've missed the boat. It feels so unrealistic by this point. I would have to be really lucky. It's really fucking sad.

I genuinely find it impossible not to ghost people. I don't know if it's an executive dysfunction kind of thing. I just find it so hard.

It's been detrimental to me. I've let so many friendships and opportunities die because I find it so difficult to respond to messages or emails. I feel really bad about it. It makes maintaining any kind of relationship almost impossible.

After this election, I'm scared for the future of living in the UK. As an autistic person, it's already fucking bad. Once reform wins, it's going to get 10x fucking worse.

It's not just old people. So many people in the UK are voting against their own self-interest.

I thought there was a chance Greens would be way more popular. It's so unbelievably bleak. I'm fucking scared.

If you're slightly cringe or awkward or miss some kind of social cue or signal, some people will use that as an excuse to be extremely mean or rude for no real reason. It fucking sucks. I pretend as if it doesn't hurt, but it does.

I am nice to people 99.9% of the time, but if they're mean or rude to me for no real reason, I will be rude back. I am tired of random people just taking their shit out on me because they're having a bad day, and I'm an easy target. Some people are just miserable and just want you to feel as bad as they do every day. Not anymore.
