also sorry but if a conversation is about what something means it doesn't feel like the place to talk about how rude or tactless it is. we're having an autistic conversation can we move past "people will be hurt by that." well at least in this situation the person who could have been hurt by it wasn't. people might be hurt by that but you know what that's a separate discussion

#we need to separate the variables to have a productive conversation #because otherwise it's a mess of a discussion and we'll never get anywhere #could we talk about the op's perhaps overly casual tone in the tweet? yes we could but you know what that's not the issue here and also #personally i don't fucking care that's the tone of half of social media these days #maybe it's relevant to the discussion of how the autistic person in the anecdote is treated BUT #LISTEN TO ME. NOT EVERY ANECDOTE ABOUT AN AUTISTIC PERSON IS A MEAN ONE. #and the twitter op was making fun of themself more than anyone else. #i can't promise i'll stop talking about this #i do have more thoughts #but i'm exhausted so maybe another time #persimmon's rambles #NOT DIRECTED TO THE ASKER.
