Really? That annoying person on tiktok who thinks autism is just quirkiness and getting out of stuff for no reason can't help me with my mental health? Bonkers! I thought they could!

In other words, water is wet.

<genuine/serious> Sorry that happened, person you thought would help sounds a bit mean </genuine/serious>

yeah I use tone tags like HTML tags

    I do know, but also there's better parts of social than the "[INSERT DISIBILITY HERE] isn't hard to live with or a disability, it's just quirky" types to get advice from, like, say, people with the condition, or professionals doing a thing online as well (a lot are online for free)

    Examples are

    Doctor Mike https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0QHWhjbe5fGJEPz3sVb6nw

    I'm autistic, now what? https://www.youtube.com/@imautisticnowwhat

    OwieBrainHurts https://www.youtube.com/@owiebrainhurts

    How to ADHD https://www.youtube.com/@HowtoADHD

    Obviously there's more than that, but you (probably) get the gist of it. There is free help and self-help out there, it can just take some time to look, and yes, there's probably some good ones on tiktok, but I don't have the energy to find those right now, and I was specifically calling out the "I'm so happy to have [serious condition] it's so quirky" group.

    sorry if this is long (looks long from my side lol because links)
