it does. my point of view on ableism is more valid than an allistic's point of view on ableism. if you, as an allistic, tell me, an autistic, what is and isnt ableist against autistic people you are being ableist.

having 'mental issues' as you like to put it isnt a weakness. a blind person's blindness is not a weakness, ptsd is not a weakness. i have ptsd and i would never consider that a weakness. the word itself weakness is a problem, sure ptsd and blindness are impairments and disabilities but the word weakness has such different connotations to it.

ableism isnt an opinion
