A Note To Autistic Boys 💕

[note: this includes trans boys, non-binary boys and boys who aren’t sure if they’re boys]

Your stimming is not obnoxious or intrusive. It is just your way of expressing your emotions. Don’t feel guilty about it.

When you infodump to a girl or a femme, you are not mansplaining. You’re just infodumping, a beautiful thing. It isn’t unfeminist to infodump.

Your traditionally masculine special interests do not contribute to toxic masculinity or male privilege. They’re just your special interests.

Your traditionally feminine interests do not make you a “sissy” or a girl (this one goes especially to trans boys). They’re just your special interests.

You are not being “disruptive” by talking loudly, not understanding neurotypical social skills or excusing yourself out of class. These are just things that some autistic people do. It doesn’t make you any less valid.

You are not inherently violent or aggressive by avoiding eye contact (especially MOC). It’s just an autistic trait, that neurotypical society may demonize but still isn’t inherently negative.

Don’t make anybody feel that you aren’t strong, beautiful or good, because I promise you, you are 💕
