If you’re LGBTQ and not autistic and opposed to autistic people using the word Pride bc you think it appropriates your struggle, I am going to need you to shut the fuck up and go educate yourself about autistic people, gender, and sexuality. It’s the same struggle. We’re you.
Autistic people do not have the same relationship to gender and sexuality that allistic people do because social constructs are not real to us. Interpreting the words the way they were originally defined, no autistic people are cis. We can’t be put in that box by default.
Lots of autistic people identify as cishet for the same reason lots of allistic queer and trans people did at one time - intense social pressure and not seeing any other options. Even many terms used in the queer community don’t fit us well. We are so alone.
