My mind is dark.
Very dark.
Sometimes, the darkness is so dark it drowns me.
Sometimes I succumb to it and sink in it even deeper.
And everything gets darker, yet darker.
My mind is colourful.
Very colourful.
Sometimes, the colours are bright, but...
Okay, so when I opened Wattpad today I saw some messages on my notice board. They were written by an autism mum, who complained about autism. She got really, really offensive, like calling her son a monster and not considering him her child. I don't understand her motivations or anything, but I tried telling her off as much as possible.
Then I went to check on her profile and that's it:

(I laughed a bit at the "I don't have a website" part.) Then I went to her message board. She had posted one message:
LotusWaterlily , EpicAutistic I just wanted you to know about that. I've blocked her now and I won't hesitate to report her because of ableism and discrimination. Seriously, this needs to stop!
Did you know that two thirds of autistics have considered suicide and a third has attempted one or planned it out? Did you know, that some autistics are being killed for EXISTING? Did you know that autistics are more likely to get depression and do self-harm? Being ableist is a BURDEN on your child and it can cause depression. So then you'll have to deal with both autism (ohhhh nooooo!) and depression and it will be your fault!
The two people this woman said to block, they're probably some of the nicest people I've ever met. Both of them are funny, nice, ausome and special. She wanted to block them for SUPPORTING CHARITIES THAT ARE PRO AUTISM ACCEPTANCE.
If you know someone ableist or if you suffer from an ableist person in your life, don't ever let them to you. Go Lucinda Himura on them. Really. Ableism should NEVER be supported, as it can cause children to become really anxious, depressed, eventually suicidal and maybe they even get PTSD.
So, #StopAbleism, #TurnItDownTaupe, #RedInstead and #FuckAutism$peaks.
