  • once when I was being an (at the time) unmedicated AuDHD 5 year old, my autistic mom tried to tell me there was “no autism in my day”. She got upset when I didn’t believe her.

    it’s worth pointing that my grandpa (moms side) was really autistic in hindsight. He never got higher than a D in highschool, took apart my grandma’s hairdryer the first day they got married to “figure out how it worked”, and was so obsessed with fishing that his trophies took up too much space and had to be moved to the garage.

    Just a connection I realized recently. This kind of homophobia is THE REASON WHY people assume there was no gay/trans people in history. Because they’re afraid to say the obvious about history and don’t teach it.

    obligatory “people on Lemmy don’t reflect the Idiocracy of where I live” (conservative Florida). I know nearly everyone here knows that trans people have always existed, but my God people here hardly know what a trans person is, much less the history of it. also it’s literally illegal to teach history that’s not heterosexual in school 🥀
