My behavior isn't "uncalled for"

...See more I'm on the spectrum. I struggle to pick up on social cues, I have a million and one sensory issues, I get confused and overwhelmed by my own emotions, I have week long meltdowns sometimes- I'm autistic. At every job I've ever had, in most every classroom I've been in, I've been told that my behavior is "uncalled for." Hell, I've had a partner tell me that during one of my meltdowns because I started crying for no reason. Weather it's a boss, a teacher, or a loved one- I just seem to experience this ableist attitude everywhere. I can't stop myself having a flashback, panic attack, or meltdown; it's not that simple. But able people just see me as a neusance, it's so exhausting. I can't help the way my brain works, I can't help that loud noises like fire alarms or slamming doors can trigger me and make me start crying. I can't help that certain textures trigger me, I can't help that chewing on things calms me down. I can't be what people want me to be, I can't be "normal"
