https://theuninspirational.wordpress.com/2016/12/18/unasked-for-advice-make-me-cry
I'm not aspiring to inspire you. Unasked-for Advice Make Me Cry. December 18, 2016. December 25, 2016. The first reason is that getting advice when I’m simply sharing what I’m feeling or what’s going on i my life often means that something that is a huge problem to me is reduced to a minor annoyance.

I'm not aspiring to inspire you. March 6, 2017. March 6, 2017. Love and loathe is mixing. Swirling, tangling, confusing me. I’m scared. I’m furious. Most of all overwhelmed. Why do I fear losing someone who has hurt me so deeply? On some level I love you, but I detest what you have done to me and my child. You try to make me think I won’t survive without you, but you keep making my life harder again and again. I don’t want you to die, but I don’t want you to keep hurting me like this. March 1, 2017.

I'm not aspiring to inspire you. When Being Comforted Means Being Erased. July 22, 2016. July 22, 2016. Earlier I wrote that I won’t mourn forever. As much as I want to be comforted, as much as I probably need it, I don’t think I’m ready for it. It’s incredibly sad, but having my autistic experiences erased for so many years has made me incapable of receiving comfort. I really hope it will change.

Why I’m suspicious of optimistic doctors – the uninspirational
https://theuninspirational.wordpress.com/2016/02/12/why-im-suspicious-of-optimistic-doctors

I read an eloquent description of how kids with disabilities learn to be suspicious of optimistic teachers. It’s about a pattern where teachers think they can make a kid’s disability disappear or become irrelevant thanks to their teaching. When it becomes clear that it isn’t happening, the teacher will not be so friendly anymore due to frustration and disappointment. I feel like a hopeless case.
