   "Three diagnoses. Three continents. Because being Black and autistic means being told you’re lying even when you have the receipts."

   This experience cuts a bit too deep.

   Yeah yeah, fuck substack, i know. None the less, i really think some of y'all need to sit down and read this. Cause wayyyy too often, as a black autistic person, I have had to deal with wayyy to much bs and racism from some of y'all outside and online.

     "One of the core strategies of whiteness is distancing itself from whiteness as an identity, so that individuals can reject accountability for collective, systemic advantage.

     ...

     White people are taught to see themselves as “just people”—neutral, unraced, objective. By insisting on individualism over group identity, they avoid the discomfort of admitting that safety, opportunity, and authority come not purely from merit but from belonging to a racial caste system designed to benefit them."

     "And then there’s the other kind of diagnosis. The one white people perform without credentials. Without invitation. They told me I was the problem in three countries.

     ...

     They said it not to help me understand myself but to undermine what I said about their harm. They said it to recast my clarity as dysfunction. To claim my refusal to flatter them was pathology. Because whiteness loves to diagnose you when it needs to shut you up."
