I...Thank you for writing about your experiences. I'm autistic and queer too (I'm bisexual) and I think it's important to talk about how they overlap. The shame and pressure to be normal that we get from ableism and from homophobia are similar, I think, which makes it very difficult to deal with both of them at the same time. I hope you find a Christian community that accepts you, there may not be a lot of them but they are out there. <br /><br />Would it be ok if I share a link to this post on Tumblr? I have a blog there about dealing with shame and internalized ableism. I can send you more information about it if you want, but I think if I put a link in this comment it'll get sent to the spam folder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095298481977801345.post-23979139286974397892016-12-31T13:11:45.883-08:002016-12-31T13:11:45.883-08:00I was lucky to be homeschooled by neurodivergent p...I was lucky to be homeschooled by neurodivergent parents, but I still suffered from a lot of their expectations that I "look normal" as well as queer erasure and lack of support for depression and anxiety. I too have developed CPTSD. <br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing with us.

I didn't get put through ABA, but I have suffered greatly from allistic social expectations (and the various social punishments that peers will act out when not conforming).<br /><br />I'm glad you're still here, I'm glad you're sharing your words.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10437365919664124304noreply@blogger.com
