“One Of The Key Aspects Of The Experience Of Being Autistic Is That Of Having A ‘spiky’ Or ‘uneven’

thank you candidly

I would rather let a “special snowflake” into the autistic community than exclude an autistic that needs support and cannot get a clinical diagnosis. I would rather validate ten “special snowflakes” than invalidate one autistic who needs support and cannot get a clinical diagnosis.

I would rather welcome a hundred “special snowflakes” without question than force an autistic to disclose their entire life to me just to get the support they need when they cannot get a clinical diagnosis.

I would rather help those that don’t need help, than deny help to those that need it.

This seems to me like a perfect illustration for the poem Lorelei by Sylvia Plath. The Lorelei is a rock on the bank of the Rhine river that causes and amplifies a luring murmuring sound that so distracts sailors that they crash and sink to their death. In Plath’s poem, the Lorelei are feminine river-spirits that sing like Sirens, luring people to drown themselves.

The truth is: the whole point of dying is to be scared. Because that means that your life meant something to you. You should fear dying. You should be terrified of it. Even though it's natural, even though it's going to happen, even though you should come to terms with it in a certain way, and go through the feeling of it , and have a relationship with it. You also should acknowledge the fact that when it's gonna happen, no matter how much you prepare, you're gonna be terrified. Because life does mean something.

don’t worry: your lack of kindness and empathy is only a black hole that’s swallowing your soul.
