@naga@octodon.social i have so many instances where I expressed how a sight or sound or texture bothered me to the point it was psychically painful and people around me just brushed it off like it was nothing.

I know im autistic but because people are stuck with these unhelpful categories of high and low functioning autistics, people think I can't be because I seem "normal". ye, seem normal but have melted down on the floor crying for 4hrs because of a visual trigger
