You hush up too.
You deserve the best too.

@RedTheLoveless

Yo, Lex is sad and I think I know more then what they told you guys.
Would you like to hear it?

Of course we would. We're all worried about Lex and their seemingly rather sudden dissapearance…

Of course…

Okay, I just got the okay from them to tell y'all.

Lex, as you know, is struggling with their mental health and a lot of other things. What you probably don't know is that Lex is in a household, not an abusive one, but one that constantly degrades them mentally and verbally. They were yelled at for having this site and once their parents looked over the contents said that: "These people are not your real friends", "This site is inappropriate for someone your age.", and a few other things that I do not feel comfortable sharing for them. By now, Lex's parents have lowered their self-esteem and a lot of other important things. They left the site in fear that one, you guys would see them for who they truly are and two, that their parents would come on here and figure out things they have only told you.

There is more, but this is all that me and Lex are willing to share.

@Cloudy_is_trying_her_best

Shit, mate. That sounds like it may very well be an abusive household. Mentally, I mean. If Lex is struggling with their mental health already, that could actually be dangerous. Keep an eye on them, please. Things might take a turn for the worst, and it'd be horrible if something actually happened. I don't know if it's actually against the law, but that's a really toxic place for Lex to be and I feel bad that I can't do anything to help…Just let them know that we're worried and that should they come back, we'll more than likely accept them for "who they really are"–I think a lot of that part might just be in their head.

Imagine how I feel, I'm unable to help one of my est friends and I have to watch them suffer.

@evastardust groupRRAAAARRL

Can you tell Lex that I have a book rec for them?
It's called Saving Red by Sonya Sones and I think it might help them through this a bit.
Sounds cheesy, I know, but when I have a bad brain day I usually read it and it helps me.

Yeah, they sure as hell need the sleep.
They have eyebags that can't be covered up like mine can

Whomst do I need to fight?
I barely know you, but I would kill for you.

Deleted user

Anyhow, I'm going to sleep and hopefully not be plagued by nightmares! Good night!

@thehobbit

I appreciate the encouragement but this wasnt prompted because of a person, this was prompted by me learning the truth about ABA therapy after having it presented to me as a good career option. im pissed and sad and frustrated and just……. i HATE the fact that I am afraid to tell people im Autistic when all these things exist and are happening right now and there are people that genuinely believe that im a lesser/broken human being. At the same time, it was all these attitudes towards Autistic people that made me shamed to talk about it in the first place.

I dont want to be ashamed of my autism. I dont want to be ashamed of my stims. I dont want to be ashamed of who I am. I dont want to be afraid to call out these damaging truths to people, including professors of mine, who dont see the harm in the things I listed by using my identity as a source of validity.

but I AM scared and ashamed of my autism and im socially anxious and im afraid it will have an effect on my grades and my relationships with my professors and classmates.

i am torn between my introverted personality and my need for justice and change and growth.
