Not Alone [OC]

i have two autistic friends
one is loud, incredibly easy to annoy and gets mad very easily, to the point where most of his friends like being with each other more than him because hbe can get quite violent and actually follow through sometimes
and the other is just quiet but hyperfixates
so i dont know why people make fun of autistic people when its a condition with varying severity

I don't have much useful to input but as an autistic, I agree. People using a mental disorder as the butt of the joke need to find help. Moreover, it is a very widely variating disorder and people love to group it all up into one little group of man babies like it's Mary Poppins' handbag. They stereotype everyone as people who can only ever have a few select interests and it really doesn't help that the world is already trying to push out any opinion that isn't the most popular.

I have AD-HD, and almost everyone I know doesn’t like me being different, mean, and emotionless. I can understand how autistic people can feel unwelcome, and I feel the same way. I wish people would stop being d***heads and started recognizing that being different isn’t being mentally unstable. It’s just who we are and we can’t change it, but people treat it as a disease. They treat ME as THE disease. And people wonder why I have suicidal thoughts.
