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 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)

and people treat me like im just creature from a different planet that they can gawk at and push around, its so horrible.

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

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.
