i know kids who had a shit day because a grandmother dragged them out of bed to be the first in some dumb store.

nobody won, but I suspect the grandma thinks she did.

The reason why every day life can be so overwhelming for Autistic folks is not because their autism is bad. It's because our world is set up to be as unaccommodating as possible to anything that strays from an extremely narrow "normal" that doesn't actually exist.

pretty sure they’re not wrong about their experience. i absolutely have vectors of experience in which, “x was possible,” or, “x was easy,” and then after AI insertion those capacities disappeared as if they’d never been there.
