Reality Check: This World Won’t Flip for Us
If 98–99% of humanity is not autistic, then that environment is the default.
It reflects those peoples' sensory preferences, their communication rhythms, their pace of interaction, their social assumptions. Systemic exclusion doesn’t require malice. It only requires inertia — and numbers.
Forcing a change in that default is simply not going to happen. Not at the speed we need. Not at the depth we deserve. Not in time to spare the next generation of autistic children from dysregulation, exclusion and despair. It doesn’t mean we should stop trying, but we have to fix the machine while it’s already moving.
Therefore, we must find ways to adapt that honor who we are. Not because we’re broken. Not because we’ve failed. But because this is the world in which we live, and surviving in it matters more than staying ideologically pure.
Adaptation is not assimilation. Relief is not betrayal. Using tools — whether they are sensory strategies, vitamin D₃ nanoemulsion treatments or scripts and structure — does not make us less autistic. It makes us functional in a world that otherwise drowns us. The idea that we must remain untouched, untreated or unaccommodated in the name of pride? That’s not liberation. That’s aesthetic suffering. It helps no one who’s actually struggling.
Every human — all of mankind — gets dysregulated. Those who find a way out survive. Those who don’t struggle until they break.
The goal isn’t to erase difference. It’s to find footing — to navigate a neurotypical world without losing ourselves inside it. That’s what true adaptation means. That’s what real support should serve. Let’s stop pretending otherwise. If I’m wrong, then please show the way to that utopia you have found. I’d be happy to pack my bags and join you.
