I’ve literally never met a scientist that didn’t have a therapist and/or a psychiatrist like I feel like there’s this stigma that by having a mental health professional it means that you can’t be successful. Like I see a lot of “oh but they’re so smart why do they need a therapist??” Like we have perfect brains or something when in reality no one does. Honestly I wish having a therapist was as commonplace as having a general practitioner. I wish there wasn’t this stigma where if you have a therapist you must be weak

Don’t just support autistic people who are introverted and socially awkward.
Support autistic people who have meltdowns.
Support autistic people who have “inappropriate” behaviors in public.
Support autistic people who act “cr*zy.”
Autistic people aren’t just worthy of your support when we’re autistic in a way that’s convenient to you.
