Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I almost certainly would have died to "pray the autism/ADHD away" evolving into "kill him, he's a demon" related causes
as for what age I'm not sure but I think saying I'd make it to 12 is optimistic
VERY glad I was born to loving parents who knew I was autistic before I did, followed doctor's advice, and fought to get me accommodations ij school
nah, medieval europeans (that's a very very very broad terms, just so we're aware) seem to have mostly just viewed noticably neurodivergent people as "mentally challenged" and infantilized them more than anything.
Apparently there was also a good chance that if you were autistic and decent at communicating, you could be taken on as a court jester and given quite free reign to criticize powerful people, because as it turns out having someone who isn't a yes-man is pretty useful when you're a ruler who wants their nation to not collapse under them.
