Haven't had one in a while, but there's a pretty representative one going on in AIBU atm.
How do these make you feel?
I feel angry and go kind of hot and cold inside. I know it's not worth arguing on them anymore, but they're referring to me and my ds when they're saying the terrible things they're saying. Autism is who I am as a person, ergo I'm a terrible person who doesn't deserve to exist. I deserved to be abused and drugged when I was a kid. I deserved to be bullied throughout school and in adulthood. I'm a nuisance, a waste of space, a burden, someone who shouldn't be treading the earth. People hate me because of what I am.
Sure, people should have a space to talk about how their kid's difficulties affect them, but should they be allowed to generalise about the condition?
Autistic people who can express themselves, like us, are truly despised and dismissed. We're the lowest of the low by not following the narrative of autism is awful.
I feel bad for ds because this is how people feel about autistics 
It's my birthday today. A reminder that I shouldn't have ever been born.
