One reason why many Allistics have a problem with Autistic people, who "don't look autistic" and call themselves disabled, is their thinking pattern of hierarchy and competition. We are "too different" and "too similar" at the same time. They don't want to support someone, who might be even "better" in any aspect than they are. In their view only people who are lower in their idea of hierarchy, who for sure can't be serious competitors are allowed to call themselves disabled and be supported.

@KaCi @actuallyautistic Yes, and this has its roots in the general social norm that says people shouldn't get help, and shouldn't be supported - hence such support and help must be rationed. That's why this norm is the enemy of us all.
