  • not having bright as hell lights and loud music everywhere
  • not being stared at like a fucking zoo animal or some kind of spectacle when I go out in public
  • not being told to "get out of my comfort zone" when that 'cOmFoRt ZoNe' is actually my "not in physical or mental pain-zone"
  • people not throwing the r-slur around like it has no history or meaning behind it at all
  • not being expected to be up and about so fucking early
  • not being treated like I'm either some innate genius or completely brainless

Just people not being inconsiderate, ableist pieces of shit in general.
