I hope nobody minds...
In response to realizing how much hurt I inadvertantly allow to be inflicted upon me by fawning, I'm countering that... 
I'm on a quest to be as unapologetically my autistic self as possible. I reference it a lot, and I will keep doing so till those around me have just accepted it's presence as mundane.
Taking up a human sized amount of "space" in the world is not entitlement, special treatment, or selfishness.

Feel free to join me on this quest.
