Seriously, there is one type of person I have come to hate in NT and mental health circles.

[Metalhead]

I am certain many of you know the type.

The kind of person who willingly and knowingly violates the boundaries of everybody around them, and when anybody calls this person out on it, they will be like, “Oh, I have mental illness or autism, so nothing I do is my own fault!”

The kind of people who enable this line of thinking are just as evil.

I have known too many people who go through life like this, and they know exactly what they are doing.

“Oh, I have mental illness or autism, so nothing I do is my own fault!”

I recently heard the phrase, Autism is not an excuse, but it is an explanation.

I like that sentiment.

Oh, I am talking specifically about people who I have to keep reinforcing my boundaries with, only for them to keep violating my boundaries repeatedly, and when I call them on it, they are like, "It's not my fault, nothing is my fault, you're being an ablest asshole for saying your boundaries should be respected!"
