social justice space can be seriously hostile to autistic people

madeofpatterns:

Because there are all these rules.

And they’re very different from mainstream culture.

And no one will ever explain them.

And people will all scream at you for being a terrible person for violating them.

This is a problem.

Even when the rules are really important.

Yeah.  Although I notice some autistic people seem really really good at figuring out and following and enforcing those rules, and others have a lot of trouble with it.  (And some vary depending on a lot of factors.)

I’m sometimes good at it but usually bad at it, and getting worse at it all the time.
