💔 I keep feeling this heartbreak that allistics want to eradicate me. They only want an allistic planet. They consider me to be deficient, broken, sub-human and requiring "prevention" from existing.

Allistics' sense of supremacy is so ironic. They exhibit deficits in so many things, like tolerance, imagination, empathy, rationality, sensory joy, systematizing.
And yet they consider me the deficient one. They're foolish and arrogant.

I can humanize an inanimate object, but allistics can't humanize an actual flesh person like me.
They consider me to have some pieces missing. 50% human, 50% deficit void where the allistic bits should be.
Who has a theory of mind deficit?
Who's the narrow-minded one?

😠 I'll have you know that that "50% void" contains all of my soul, my accumulated knowledge, my logic, my way of loving the world, and my sources of joy.
"I don't enjoy collecting and organizing information or lining things up, so people who do must be deficient in some way" is such a pathetic take.
Imagine thinking enjoyment makes you less human. That's allistic logic.

Allistics will never know the joy of Autistic pursuit of knowledge, of cultivating perspective from order and pattern, connecting things together and generating insights with the same ease & instinctiveness as breathing.
That genuinely saddens me. It must be dull.

The more time I spend around neutral language, the more absurd & egotistic the deficit language looks.
Allistic language reminds me of 19th century men describing women. "Weaker sex", "lesser half of humanity", with men the exemplary and correct way of being.

It bothers me that if aliens visited us tomorrow and asked for a representative profile of a human being, society would describe an allistic.
"Who are they?" the aliens ask, pointing towards the Autistics.
"Oh, they're the disordered ones," the allistics would reply.

I want to live in a world where Autistic is an accepted variant of human being, not a broken version of a neurotypical.
😬 Please don't embarrass me in front of the aliens. Allism is not cool.
