Seconded. I prefer the punishment to fit the crime.

oof, this is why i am probably failing half of my classes in high school (besides the fact/my teachers not being very friendly towards an autistic person using a computer because that was frankly unheard of since 2020/the pandemic!)
they/my teachers think i'm dumber than a box of rocks, and that's probably why my "friend" rai literally threw hands! and said something under the lines of/I'm not being friends with a person whose teachers treat their ^only^ female autistic student like a four year old! (jokes on him tho we're still together because we're in the same school, and where sorta still friends!) :lol:

Or an ablest could be an innocently ignorant workmate who assumes that you cant do something.

Or an ablest could be the equivalent of racist...who is prejudiced against just because you are a member of the autism "race" so to speak.

Or an ablest could be someone has something against you personally and who just bullies you personally.

Different motivations. Requiring different responses.


Also ...I thought it was spelled the OP spelled it, but the sites autocorrect underlines with a read line. But when I loose the "I" it does NOT flag it as misspelled. So...I guess "ablest" is the correct spelling.

i am already pissed off by what you said!

Ablest is the person most able for a particular task.

Albeist is one who engages in ableism.

i probably need to get off the internet before i make someone depressed for my actions :skull: *i can't blame them for being depressed because my actions online are as un-pretty as my actions in irl/in real life & at my school/my high-school/washington high* (cough) my failed attempt at harming/yeeting my friend/rai out the window at my school
(loud coughing noises) :oops: god i should fix my anger issues if i am that terrible online as in irl/in real life... :skull:

Why bother interacting with or acknowledging them at all? People who come up with "witty" comebacks only validate the ableist rhetoric (by making it seem worth arguing over or making themselves look stupid)

OP, this is unrelated to the conversation: I don't think it is wise to share your location and the name of your high school online, especially since you are a minor. It might be best to delete that from your profile.

I'd tell the person, "It takes one to know one."

Some comebacks

I am a person of value and I would appreciate it if you would not talk to me like that.

You could also say, I don't think it's fair for you to assume that I am using my autism as an excuse.

Your words mean nothing to me

The comebacks above tend to shut people like that down

Wow, you're a grey sprinkle on a rainbow-covered donut

If I were meant to be controlled then I would come with a remote

When people talk in me third person, E.G. So how's Summer today?"

"I don't know what you don't you ask her? She's right here?"

in general it does no good to deal with an ableist. their philosophy [of superiority] is highly resistant to change.

Trying to argue with an ableist is like trying to play chess with a pigeon.

All they do is s**t all over the board, and then they strut around as if they won.
