Feeling overwhelmed, like the worst of us make the rules for the rest of us? Like empathy feels like a curse right now? It just hurts, and you feel helpless?

You are worth fighting for. Sometimes winning doesn't look glamorous, it just looks like not giving up. Care for yourself, for the ones you love, being strong and feeling strong are not the same thing, just don't quit. I love you all, I'm sorry it's hard, but we need each other, community is essential.

I'm autistic.
I need to live a life that is different than most people.
I'm not deficit unless you compare me to the entirety of the population.

I'm able to live, enjoy things, choose my own path (as much as society would let me).

I'm not deficit, I'm different.
I got skills most people dont have, so it's not like I'm some defective human.

I might 'appear' defective but that's not true. I am an autistic who is interrupted by society, I need my own way.

I'm different, not defective.

You are in the forest.

Birds are chirping, no car driving sounds, a bit of wind so the leaves are moving.

A dog barks.

Is the dog barking part of “nature sounds” in this situation?
