So for the last 30 years, society has believed that people like us can't handle places like stores, restaurants, planes, or parties, just to name a few.
And some places would even resort to kicking us out citing autism or a sensory overload as a reason Even when we're not making a scene.
The only thing they ever talk about is, we're autistic, we have these special needs, we want you to take care of us.
The only people that know how to take care of us are ourselves and the parents who lovingly raised us.
So the natural thing most people will do when they don't know how to handle us will be to just completely kick us out.
Like they won't even let us in in the first place because we're like an inconvenience to them.
So instead of asking someone else to take care of us, we should just focus on learning how to take care of ourselves and fight for our right to do those kinds of activities.
because autism isn't a reason to not be allowed to do those certain activities.
