it fascinates me to see how autism presents differently in people socialized as male vs socialized as female; i was taught to shove my anger and such as deep down inside me as possible and even being slightly angry at someone is enough to ruin my mood and make me withdraw into myself, while i’ve personally seen autistic men generally have much more access to their anger.

(not to assume or insinuate you’re one or the other but to more be like I Notice This Thing In General, there’s also a shitload of nuance that comes when you consider the high amount of autistic people who are gendernonconforming in some way)

It’s not as “fascinating” when you’re the one being verbally abused lol

Next time I’m going to yell back. No one deserves to be verbally abused.
