I think I have food allergies.
What else would explain constantly feeling bloated, off-kilter and tired? I know my stomach hates milk; maybe wheat too? I hear autistic people often have trouble with those things.
It's weird, but my family is full of "autists" yet uninclined to treat us differently. Have we not read the literature? Are we each caught up in our own affairs?
The church, or what I've seen of it, also seems uninterested in catering to special needs. I've been to events with no ear protection, no way to get the volume turned down and no sensory room provided. It sucks.
I'm trying to make my way in the world. Why oh why won't the world give just a bit? Even Mauler, my favorite YouTube critic, makes careless "tism" jokes on occasion.
I didn't ask for this shit. Would someone please help me?
Anyway, I'm gonna go cry now.

I'm autistic and have ADHD. if you're mid- or high-working, like me, you can survive without those arrangements. if you're low-working, then... maybe try making them yourself? sometimes the world is a bitch, so it's up 2 u

you can pull through. autism can't make you helpless

OP
I can survive, yes, but that's different from a fulfilling life. And it's common courtesy to provide accommodations.

not where I'm from... In fact, it's more common that they bully you because of it, and then go scot-free
You could have a glutten allergy. I'd say cut things out of your diet individually until you identify it. For example, monday no wheat, Tuesday no beef, that sort of thing.
