My glorious, glorious autism prevents me from doing so much in society, and it’s the reason I’m treated badly a lot of the time. People think I’m slow if they don’t know me. The teens in my building make fun of me, lol. I don’t get to hide being autistic. JM talks about autism only when she wants to brag or make excuses. We are a marginalized group with poor health outcomes, high suicide rates, very poor employment, and very little access to society. I’d love to hear JM describe something about her autistic life that might resonate with the community. Seriously. Anything other than autism makes television presenting hard/I don’t like parties.
ETA - Hey, and I wouldn’t even mind her writing about how autism makes television presenting difficult. I’d be really curious, if they were honest about it. Could shine a small light.
