As a student and person with anxiety and autism, I have been treated with nothing but disrespect and ridicule. Teachers, students, and others alike hate people like me for no reason other than to just try and control us and our thoughts and feelings. And to Teachers who say we’re “Disrespecting you” whenever we don’t wish to do something or are struggling, we are NOT disrespecting you. We are struggling with our thoughts and emotions. And also, to bullies who treat us horribly in an even worse way, it’s not cool at all, nor does it make you cool. Bullies like you ruin our lives or make them even worse. Having Autism makes it extremely hard to live a normal life, and it makes it a pain to even try to be happy or be productive. We can’t think and feel the same way that you “normal people” do, and it’s not cool at all to treat us like we’re “freaks of nature.” If this continues, suicide and depression rates will continue to rise insanely fast, it puts thousands upon millions of people at risk, and makes mental health drops from School and other social impacting situations even worse. Help me raise awareness across the globe, and help millions of people like me get better treatment in schools and other social spaces! We’re human too! Autistic and Disability Rights Are Human Rights too!
