The story with steven, you are not the asshole, i just found out i have autism and found out my parents were ableists and the fact that they denied i had autism i had no help in school even though i was struggling. I would have loved the help. There are kids out there with parents like mine who give nothing about their kids and set them up to fail.
And there are parents like Steven whose parents make such a big deal about their kid being neurodivergent, that it depresses their child. Steven asked to change school and they denied him. Every time he spoke his needs, they dismissed them. The parents are assholes for never listening to their children. He juat wanted to be treated like everyone else, but they made it so he never could be. F those parents.
