Meltdowns are caused by being overwhelmed by a lot of stuff that you can’t get off your chest because no one will ever listen to you or treat you like a human being, full stop.

No kid is angry over a candy bar; they’re flipping tables and making themselves bleed over years of bullying from their family, literally being bullied into growing up too early and into not growing at all, never going outside, being in a “school” where the staff shoves them to the floor and ties their hands behind their back as punishment for getting 98/100 on a worksheet; riding a bus where they can’t do anything but look out of the window where everyone outside points and laughs, being bullied for smelling bad but also being bullied out of showering, and being told by everyone that they are the problem, that they’re only angry because they’re ungrateful and spoiled.

And yes, those who can’t talk are frustrated at being unable to communicate. But sure, keep giving them sleep aids, prison food, and Cocomelon to shut them up instead of giving them a chance to communicate, learn, and grow.

For a disorder that’s so stupidly infinite and can be anything (this is so fucking stupid), everyone is treated the same. The heavily dyslexic person with severe dyslexia who can still learn and grow is treated the same as a person who can’t read or talk at all, and regardless of their ages they’re all treated like they’re 5. The former person just had an issue reading so they spend their whole childhood not being educated, and being abused until they go insane and are put in a group home. The other person is never given any opportunity to communicate with anyone and also goes insane until they’re put in a home. The first person could have had a real life, a job, friends (who actually aren’t bullies), and real experiences, but now they rot in prison because their dyslexia was called that stupid puzzle piece shit.

When will you realize these institutions for puzzle pieces are for profit and abuse the kids into being such dead weight that they don’t even pursue trying to leave? But first, when will you realize that stupid disorder is fake? It’s literally just parts of every other disorder, which all have names, definitions, and treatments. But sure, keep calling it that puzzle piece, and keep suffering from untreated mental illness, and continue calling the effect of going on without actual treatment that stupid puzzle piece. Because you’re not suffering from anything, you decide to get angry because you’re spoiled, right?

If you were abused and bullied your whole life as a child because of that shit, what you’re dealing with today is most likely CPTSD. CPTSD can make you feel stuck around the age your life peaked at, cause a lot of brain fog, cause issues with coordination, and a lot more things associated with that stupid puzzle piece. That includes being awkward especially if you grew up isolated. That includes not getting sarcasm and being frustrated with others refusing to just be concise. Interesting, abused children have symptoms of being abused children no way. No fucking way. Shocking.

And for the adults calling themselves that crap for TikTok likes, just quit. You know you only want likes on social media. That stupid puzzle piece is not an explanation for why you struggled with some random mundane thing. That crap means nothing, it can’t explain anything when it means absolutely nothing.

You have no idea what it’s like to actually have every aspect of yourself reduced to that fakeass puzzle piece, and live dehumanized by everyone in your life. You have no idea what it’s like to be in a real school where the staff have meetings on what to do with you, and how scared they are of you because you got into a violent game series called “Fortnite” and they don’t know why your parents allow you to consume restricted adult media. And of course, you’re not invited to these meetings, and you’ll be forced to deal with whatever conclusion they come up with.

You have no idea what it’s like to have everyone in the school gaslight you into believing you’re violent and dangerous for everything you do, force you to be friends with people you’re not interested in, single you out for having nice things as that makes you spoiled (everyone else is normal though), and spreading that the same stupid puzzle piece that made you so scary made you so smart and it’s the only reason why you got a passing grade. And yes, a passing grade. You got 60% because a puzzle piece made you smart, and now you’re filmed and broadcast to the literal world for being So Smart with your 60%. You will never know what it’s like to be a celebrity in your school for things they don’t deserve the attention, have your friends be secretly jealous of you, and have everyone in the building steal at least one thing from you as they assume you’re a millionaire and it doesn’t hurt you.

You had a real life, yet you want to look cool on the internet. Which you could do without spreading misinformation that literally kills people. You might as well say all those women in Afghanistan who can’t get educated just don’t like school, because you’re a woman and you got educated and it’s easy, and that being a woman is the same experience for everyone. Imagine enough people spreading that the women in Afghanistan aren’t oppressed, they are just antiwork and anti-education, and how that can affect them and empower those oppressing them. That’s you right now, justifying abuse towards disabled people who were never given a chance at life.

The first step to actually eradicating ableism is to eradicate that stupid puzzle piece label that enables and justifies ableism. Every child diagnosed with that crap has something else that can actually be treated, and they don’t need to stagnate and grow into self hating burdens on their families. Eradicate that stupid puzzle piece and all of these children can have a real chance at a real life.

Additionally, eradicating that stupid label is a significant win for transgender rights with less people being forced to live as their birth gender. As, in that case, the person would have gender dysphoria, a condition with a name and actual treatment, instead of some meaningless “infinite” “spectrum” random label that means nothing and can’t be treated because it’s so individualized with everyone that stupid label is on.

My hate is at the label and the people who keep giving it false credibility, not those affected by its existence. Free the children whose lives were ravaged by that stupid label, and eradicate it. Give these children real lives instead of making them wait to die in a cruel death waiting room.

If you believe in disability and LGBTQ rights, you do NOT believe in “autism”.

    I really wanted to engage with this seriously but honestly, this just comes across as a bit deranged.

    You literally don’t even define what the puzzle piece disorder is throughout your whole rant. I’m going to assume its Autism you’re talking about.

    Yet you mention kids with severe dyslexia which is absolutely not a form of Autism.

    How can we have a genuine discussion if we don’t have a coherent place to begin it? Not to mention the fact that you’re EXTREMELY emotionally charged when simply thinking about it, let alone when someone comes to challenge your point of view.

      Yeah, being bullied for your whole life and still living with your bullies does that. I’ll be deranged until I finally die since my life matters oh so much and I really need to live instead of die now to cut my losses.

      You’re right about what that stupid disorder is, even though I wrote it at the very end. I really just hate that stupid word and can’t stand writing it over and over.

      Yeah, nothing is a form of that shit because that shit is nothing. Several people who could have lived real lives are mentally murdered and live as mindless corpses until they die, for what? Dyslexia was one example. Imagine having your whole life ruined because you had difficulty reading.

      Gee I wonder why someone who literally watched children die to that stupid word would lose it at someone else justifying those kids’ deaths for internet clout.
