    Insanely long but the 2/3 of it I have read are very good. It’s unapologetic, which is important for the autistic population of the planet imo.

      Yesssss!! I agree. We’re so used to having to apologize for being autistic, that it’s nice to be proud of related strengths. Thank you for pointing that out.

        Thank you very much. I googled autism merch today. It’s disgusting. 90% of the stuff is shit and most have the puzzle piece or „please be patient I‘m autistic“. I wanted to puke!

        Nothing like „autistic - no touchy“ or „don’t look me in the eyes baby“ or something else that is a little bit more cheeky and not some apologetic trash.

        We don’t need to apologize for being ourselves. I think people should apologize to us for saying „ah, you‘re being problematic today again?“. Yes motherf***er, deal with it.

          Yeah, I like flipping the script too 😁

          I bought these 2 shirts (shirt 1 & shirt 2). You might like some of the other products in the store, which is ran by an openly autistic YouTuber named Mom on the Spectrum.
