The worst part is that since everyone nowadays thinks they know what it’s like to be overstimulated they don’t take it seriously. “Oh I’m overstimulated” and they’re like “uhhh you’re kinda overreacting” because they think they understand and they don’t
People’s misuse of words like “non-verbal” and “overstimulated” is soo funny cuz nt’s demonize everything about autism and look at you like your existence is a crime, but water down terms that are trendy and relatable to them
