I am autistic and in my country I’ve been told before by my case worker that I qualify for MAID. This cruel world just isn’t meant for people like me, and I am now starting the application process for MAID.
qualified due to autism? You have not explicitly said your reasons for seeking MAID, and whatever they are, I’m sure that you know what you are doing. I just want you to know that I believe autistic people are one of greatest natural gifts that the world has given us. Y’all have a gift to see the world in a refreshingly-different way from everyone else, and there are many autistic folks in my life that I love dearly. Many of them have survived some very dark phases in their lives, where everything seemed hopeless, and yet today they are the happiest people I know.
Whatever you end up doing, I just want you to know that I believe your existence is a treasure to this world, and many others do as well. But I don’t know anything about the rest of your situation, and I respect whatever you decide to with your own life.

I’m so sorry. I wish the world was kinder.
What’s MAID?
