Autism is my superpower

190E(Taylor’s version)

How dO you personaly feel about this saying I honestly agree

noe that im dsy by day unmasking more snd more snd letting the flappy hands do there thing and letting uk self be joyful I can learn more I can do more ye ai do have limitations like whilst I may clean my house rally good one day I might struggle to so for 5 days :( and I have to be reminded to wash snd stuff 

but I know this sounds bad I’ll take the bad parts if it means I get my happy flappys,my intense learning snd my happy speical interest moments 

if I could change one thing it’s that I wish my passed on family could see me thriving 

but it’s sad that then alive ones who know seem to only focus on that I light gwt pip

I won’t lie rhe money would help as I could buy stuff I need to regulate but if I don’t get pip I’ll just have to work smarter to get what I need

  • I don't like it. It smells patronising. I wouldn't get too worked up over the phrase if it came from a good place, though.

    Tom Kenny, SpongeBob's voice actor, said it to a group of Autistic kids when someone asked if SpongeBob was Autistic, "That's his superpower, the same way that's your superpower." I think he meant well. He wanted them to feel like SpongeBob was one of them, relatable, and that Autism wasn't a bad thing.
