This was ingrained into me. When I needed some form of help but was interpreted as not needing it for whatever reason I’d get a “do you know what x person went through for you??” Style lecture, especially if I had the audacity to still be experiencing a problem after

In zero mission it’s more of a suggestion. There’s a non-glitch Ridley before kraid route iirc.

Stop saying you know if you haven’t done it. If you knew you would have done it.

A different set of strengths can form the illusion of “powers” if the majority of the people with those strengths are gatekept by ableist systems. I think part of this is just a massive filtration of neurodivergent people who make it into the professional world at every level followed by the observation that we are rare afterward. Well, we aren’t, just the ones that succeeded with no systemic backing are rare.

Being the autistic person on the receiving end of this sort of communication can be kind of frustrating ngl
