💬Why Words Can Physically Hurt Autistic People 🧠💥 As an autistic individual, I know firsthand the impact that hurtful words can have. When someone makes an insensitive remark or dismisses our experiences, it can feel like a physical blow to the gut. 👉🏽 Autistic people often have difficulty with sensory processing, and this includes emotional stimuli. This means that negative comments can trigger a very real physical response, such as a heightened heart rate, sweating, or even pain. 👉🏽 It's important to understand that autistic people process language differently. We may take things literally or struggle with sarcasm and metaphors. When someone uses language that is confusing or misleading, it can cause anxiety and stress. 👉🏽 The use of harmful language also perpetuates harmful stereotypes about autism. When people use words like "retarded" or "crazy" to describe autistic individuals, it reinforces negative attitudes and prejudices. 👉🏽 By using respectful language and being mindful of our unique needs, we can create a more inclusive and accepting society for autistic people.
