You Weren’t Difficult—You Were Autistic

Added: 2026-06-03

[00:00:01]One day, you discover that autistic people struggle with justice sensitivity and demand avoidance. You start reviewing your life and spotting the moments you were told you were willful, rebellious, and too sensitive. And with this new vocabulary, you can acknowledge and accept that it was okay for your little self to not want to wear that uncomfortable dress that felt like sandpaper on your skin. That it was reasonable and acceptable for you to be shocked when you saw a person or animal mistreated. To feel a sense of vindication that in fact you were right to feel pain and horror at the idea that war is considered an acceptable way to have a disagreement. Tell me your experience in the comments.
