i think it’s funny
how when we were first to love
fidget toys and weighted blankets
we were the perfect subject of ridicule
but once you decided you liked them too
suddenly what was invented for us
was what you made yourself
i think it’s funny
how a straight parent of a gay child
calling themselves a gay parent is blatant appropriation
yet
when you call yourself an autism parent
for being allistic with an autistic child
i’m just too oversensitive when i call you out on it
i think it’s funny
how when we speak for ourselves
you say we know nothing
yet you speak over us
and claim you know best
of something you have literally never lived
i think it’s funny
how i am nothing but decoration for you
