Not every complain about neurotypicals is "creating an us vs them" mentality.

If you don't understand what point I'm trying to get across with my title, basically there has been a recent phenomenon of autistic people on reddit (and sorry for my language) meat riding neurotypicals. I'm being partially hyperbolic because I've seen autists venting about their trauma with NT's, and people first reaction to those posts is "OMG you're creating an us vs them mentality", this happened to me MANY TIMES when I talked about my experiences with sexual assault by neurotypicals, people on reddit accused me from "generalizing NT's" or "separating NT's from ND's" (god knows what that means).

I know that a lot of us have problems with knowing what to exactly say when someone is venting about their struggles on social media or IRL, that's why I making this post.

No, not every post that says "I hate NT's" or "I had this bad experience with a NT" is creating an "us vs them" mentality. Let's start with the fact that neurotypicals as a group have a power over autistic people as a group, this is a fact, they are the majority and most doctors, psychologists, psychiatrist, caregivers, etc are NT, professions that help the average autistic person to thrive.

This also means that most people who harms autistic folks are NT, because they have a power over them at a systematic level (for example: the hundred of cases from mothers that killed their severely autistic childs), this is not "generalization", this is not me trying to make a NT vs ND rivalry, this is me describing a problem that autists (as a group) suffer from.

Me saying that most people who suffer from sexual assault are women and that most people that commit SA are men is not "a gender war", is a systematic problem that women go through as group, it's oppression, the same oppression that autistic people suffer from neurotypicals.

The conclusion you end up with is yours, if you think that all neurotypicals deserve to die or something that's YOUR point of view, but not the objective reality, the objective reality is that neurotypicals have a systematic power above us.

I didn't isolate myself from neurotypicals because I wanted to, or because I "hate them", or because "they are evil", I don't think the people that sexually harassed me or tried to rape me are evil, but they're dangerous, and there are other things that neurotypicals have as privileged a group that make us incompatible.

That's all my rant, I hope y'all can finally understand what to say when someone is venting about... Idk, almost getting raped?.
