#Neuronormative masking:
Performance intended to manipulate/maneuver
#Neurodivergent masquing:
Performance hoping to avoid manipulation/maneuvering
The former preys.
The latter prays.
Still not seeing a difference?
Your sophistry is not our safety.
Our safety dies by your sophistry.
Do better.
#eugenics #supremacy #exceptionalism #neuronormative #bias #ignorance #fear #hate - that special human blend that has continually received human selection despite the fact it's inherently toxic to humanity, themselves included.
#actual #factual #history of #neuronormative, #eugenicist #bias that should never be allowed to stand unchallenged.
I was a rockstar on entry @ every job I ever had.
Right up until it became obvious that I'm going to treat you the same whether your the janitor or the CEO.
Customer loved me with zeal that they often hated, too.
Apparently, #autistic #honesty is a threat to #neuronormative theater.
#Autistic #integrity #truth & #gratitude. What are these worth to the #neuronormative ? Some reflections on "living water".

Disappointing - downloadable oracy booklet encourages teachers to instil #neuronormative behaviours such as βface the speaker so they know they have your full attentionβ π and refs Teach Like A Champion π School leaders π Please read @iancushing.bsky.social π www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1...
Almost none currently exists outside a grassroots collective of #neurodivergent affirming, #neuronormative rejecting, #agency, #autonomy, & #LivedExperience authority supporters building their own communit(ies/y).
Different brains work differently. There very likely is no such thing as "normal"/π§΅
You're not an idiot. Autistic humans frequently get along better with (and can quickly identify) other autistic humans. It's a real thing.
You do have social skills. They're just not #Neuronormative ones... that's ok. There's nothing wrong with you being you. π
What kind of jewelry do you make?
You do not owe the world social performance.
The only people who will demand it are being domineering.
Yes, that is a lot of humans with #neuronormative bias.
No, that doesn't mean you're obligated to them.
My cope is keeping preceding statements in mind, which is why I share them with you.π«ππ»
This is one thing I know #neuronormative humans will say, too. But unlike them, I cannot live with the abuse. It's different because I am different.
But I'm also hella good at what I do & it just irks the crap out of me that truly is not valued, like, anywhere.
There is value in me regardless.ππ»
Abolishing #neuronormative bias is a real goal for the world, but given most still do not accept/acknowledge that 50% of the 'double empathy' problem rests here, it is definitely an uphill battle.
My eyes don't move like yours because my brain doesn't work like yours.
Pretty simple, once you take the #neuronormative bias out of things.
