Can we talk about how we treat ppl irl and online? /srs

Let me start by saying that no one here has specifically done anything. This is something that happened irl and it got me thinking.

Just because there is no label, bullying/being a jerk to people with autistic traits for having those traits is not cool. If you ask a question and someone answers, don't get upset for them explaining something unless they're genuinely asking something rude.

I look forward to coming to school to get away from my home life but lately, it's become such a big place of toxicity and I don't have a single safe space anymore. They make fun of me for anything and everything they can, mostly stimming and other very autistic traits I have. Please understand that you don't know what's going on in someone's life. Please just treat people with respect. I try my hardest to get along w/ people so why is it that I (and others) are treated like idiots for having a neurological difference?

It's honestly pathetic. Picking on someone who can't sontrol that.

i understand it. im not autistic, but i have adhd, and sometimes i just need to jump around for a bit before class to get some energy out so i can try and sit still for an agonizing 90 minutes, otherwise im really twitchy and miserable. either outcome gets me mocked constantly- masking is so tiring, why should neurodivergent people have to exhaust themselves conforming to a bunch of negative jerkwads who dont like them anyway? tired of wasting my energy pleasing people who ill never interact with again.

Ugh, I’ve had a permanent spot on ppls snapchat stories since middle school and missed so much of my junior year of HS bc of bullying. It makes no sense because I average like 5 words a day, mostly to teachers, so idk how them ppl even know me.

It takes literally zero effort to not be a jackass and stay in your own lane. None of that shit matters after school, so obviously them bullies are going to forget what they’ve done, but the scars they leave behind will be remembered for years

the tiniest thing

i need a lot of support due to my learning disabilities and mental illnesses (dont wanna go into detail, but my support needs are very extreme some days)

even if you could control it, they'd likely make fun of you regardless. the hierarchy i've got mentally for dealing with bullies is ignore -> tell a teacher -> tell the principal -> tell a trusted adult outside of the school system ("but they cant do anything!" it's actually more likely for a non-school adult to do something because the education system punishes victims above all else whereas outside of there, it's far more likely for the abusers and bullies to be punished) -> fight back. if for whatever reason you can't retaliate (fear of punishment, physical roadblocks, general morals, etc.) then keep reporting and reporting until the school is fed up with it, and then keep reporting past that point. get some friends to back you up if needed. do not let up until they know about everything that's going on. if you have to, demand that something is done. they have to listen eventually. stay strong out there w03 /gen /npa

The popular girls at school call me it and talk about me like im some otherowrdly creaturesad2they also think im stupid and are always acting nice to me and laughing abt it even when I'm clearly annoyed and want them to stop. Also every kid at my school just uses the word autistic as a fill in for stupid D: it sucks why cant we just be treated like human beings
