So I texted my mom last night that I think it’s likely that I have autism. Then she texted back that she has always suspected that I have autism since I was little kid and that she loves me. I felt very validated and happy that it went better than expected although somewhat upset that she never did anything to help me.
However this morning I woke up to a text from her insisting that I don’t actually have autism and I’m just lazy and over sensitive and that I need to get over myself and I have spent a lot of time crying in bed today.
[TW: Transphobia]
She’s done this before which is why I was so nervous to tell her. When I came out to her as a trans woman she initially said nice things to me, but then the next day she started ranting about “why couldn’t you just be a gay man” or “no one will ever love you if you’re trans.” It took her several years to come around and actually accept me.
All I really wanted from her was understanding, but she just gave me a lot of self-doubt and sadness instead.
Edit: Thank you all for your support, I really appreciate it ❤️🫂
She’s a dumb cunt move on. You are the only person that cares about making you happy. Everybody else is just trying to turn you into their accessory. Autism or not You’re still a human being these distinctions aren’t really necessary in a world that cares for each other.
