“I’m So Stupid. Nothing Ever Works Out, Does It? Nobody Ever Waits. Nobody Ever Loves Anyone Properly,

level 1 autism don’t mean no support need

don’t mean no struggle

don’t mean all can hold job can live independently (some level 1 can do that but not able do doesn’ automatically mean not level 1)

don’t mean have friend

don’t mean no violent meltdowns

don’t mean speech not hard

nothing wrong with be level 1.

(am not level 1. but yeah)

"i do x because of my autism."

"don't use your autism as an excuse."

i am not. i am giving them a reason as to why i word things in a certain way. i am giving them a reason why i think/perceive things in a certain manner. i am giving them a reason why i am never on time. why i need them to be more specific than that. why i did not understand what they meant. why getting out of bed is sometimes the hardest thing i can do that day. i am giving them a reason why i cannot eat certain foods, touch certain things or why i need something to be a certain way. i am giving them a reason why i do not like people. why i do not like going to certain places.

i am not using my autism as an excuse. i am merely giving you a reason why.

PSA: As a queer Muslim, can I just say that we need to address both homophobia within the Muslim community AND Islamophobia within the LGBTQ+ community?

Because it sucks being viewed as a sinner and a disgrace by most of my family and many other members of my faith, but it also sucks to hear my fellow queer folks attacking Islam as a whole, when in truth, the religion preaches peace and tolerance.

If you're a cisgender, heterosexual Muslim, please remember that there are queer Muslims who are trying their best to serve Allah, just like you, and that we are not inherently any more dirty or shameful than anyone else.

If you're a non-Muslim member of the LGBTQ+ community, please remember that there are queer Muslims, and there are Muslims who are allies, and it hurts to see our religion painted as evil.
