as an autistic person, there is a huge difference between me acknowledging i’m not able to do something because of my disability, and other people assuming i’m not and trying to speak for me 

the former is me accepting my limitations, the later is people limiting me

we autistic people can speak for ourselves, maybe not in the way allistic people would expect, but we can. all of us can. you just have to learn our way of doing so instead of forcing us to learn your ways and treat us as burdens if we can’t
