I guess she must've been, right If they were really neurodivergent they'd have a well paid Silicon Valley job and not be working retail in the first place

The essence of these bad faith invocations of disability is they don't acknowledge that by disclaiming any responsibility for performing emotional and mental labor they MOVE that responsibility elsewhere

You fucked up at theory of mind, you offended a bunch of people and now you've made a mess you didn't mean to make and that sucks Really, it does, and society should have more mechanisms to fix that

But by saying you bear no responsibility here you're saying the cashier should be a goddamn WIZARD of theory of mind That some retail worker should be trained to instantly analyze your actions, develop an empathetic picture of your POV, and come to an accurate threat assessment

That's hard work It's hard work for NT and ND people alike I'd venture that it's usually HARDER work for ND people working in the service sector It is absurdly entitled to go around saying "because everyone around me isn't doing this work for me all the time, I'm oppressed"

If my past restaurant experience was any experience, theres a fair chance the cashier will be a trans person, or a person with OCD, or a person managing schizophrenia, because it turns out retail disproportionately employs marginalized people, who knew

I've been fucked over when working retail because my low grade social anxiety made me vulnerable in ways other people wouldn't have been (one time a dude did in fact steal a bunch of change from me with an obvious con job and I took a ton of heat for it)

Tangent, but I relate to this. I caught a guy in the act of stealing my car once and made myself late to work driving him somewhere bc I was so anxious about the whole thing I couldn't react appropriately.

I used to let this guy into my room all the time to play my video games in college and one day my roommates confronted me like "Who is this guy?" and I was like "I dunno he just showed up one day"

I didn't play video games WITH him, he literally just came in and asked if he could play my games Single player
