TRIGGER WARNING ABLEISM OPINION EVIL OPPRESSOR ETC ETC

im not sure how i feel about people with really minor autism claiming that theyre as disabled as someone who’s blind or only has one leg

sure autistic is still…

i have low empathy and thats caused me some inconveniences but it doesnt stop me from enjoying life, does it. but my point is, a lot of people claim their lives are so hard when they’re not.

Not sure what qualifies you to be the sole arbitrator of whose life is hard or not, but okay.  Your initial posts went well beyond that point and reflect a deep ignorance about disability.

And I’ve never actually seen anyone saying “I’m as disabled as someone who is blind?”  Just “I’m disabled.”  And those are two different things.
