Obnoxious how most anti-infantilization activism in many low support-centric autistic communities seems to rely on arguing we don't need support rather than reducing the stigma attatched to needing support.
Simply put, most anti-infantilization autistic activism I see is about how we don't need to be talked to slowly, need 24/7 care, don't need help with going to the toilet, don't need help shopping, etc. because we 'aren't toddlers'.
Which is a bad kind of activism, because, uh, many of us DO need those things. This is a fact. Ignoring it won't make it go away. And saying that only children need those things IS infantilization.
What we SHOULD be arguing is that adults who have medium to high support needs and who need help with or just can't do basic tasks, can't speak or can't speak well, need to have things explained slowly/repeatedly, etc. are still adults and deserve to be respected as such. Having higher support needs isn't childish.
No, people shouldn't assume that all autistics have higher support needs. But autistics with lower support needs also shouldn't erase those who do, when they are ALWAYS the ones most impacted by infantilization.

Tumblr can’t be swapped for any other social media website because Tumblr is the only one whose whole base humor is derived from the art of pretending to be a dumbass.
Like if you get a fact wrong on Reddit, the “well actually” crowd will ooze from their mansplainer holes and I think if you pull that shtick on Twitter someone will use it to win a political argument against you that you weren’t even a part of.
Only on Tumblr can you start a sentence with “well sweaty I have 9 Ph.D. :))” and immediately have the upper hand over any clown trying to reasonably correct you.

you actually don't have to know who you are.
i feel like there's a lot of pressure to know exactly who you are and what you want to do in life but you really don't? because people change, and you might know who you are one day and realise a few days, months, years later that actually that's not who you are anymore. and that's okay.
you haven't "lost" yourself, you've grown. and growing means you have the chance to learn about yourself again.
maybe things you used to hate doing actually sound fun? or your dream job isn't your dream job anymore. those clothes you used to love aren't what you feel comfortable in anymore or the one person that really understood you no longer seems to.
it can seem scary when the things you used to hold close aren't the same anymore but it means that you've changed, you've become a new you and now you can get to learn that new you instead.
