Would like to hear from both within and outside the #neurodiverse community about something that upsets me: I hate seeing REEEEEEE as mockery every time I’ve seen it over the years. It comes across like an ugly #autism stereotype, and even at best it’s mocking the target for being overwhelmed by distress over something.

But I haven’t come across anyone else trying to shut that down, the way using the word retard is now unacceptable. Am I overreacting for calling people out over this?
