This is going to be the first Autism Acceptance Month for me at work after disclosing to my immediate coworkers and I intend to continue to slowly try and pry the mask off when I feel secure, and to politely, diplomatically, and with barely hidden knife behind my back discuss the ongoing failures of higher level management to cash the checks their mouths are writing about many things relating to disability that make safety feel hard, and possible ways to constructively address those issues.
What I'm getting at is that I've realized I'm slowly turning into a tonberry only instead of very slowly waddling forward, I've been very slowly dropping hints of my disgruntlement through the masking, and if I get to the point my equivalent of casting Everybody's Grudge is probably going to be in the form of an email with the header If you thought I was giving Direct and Honest Feedback before CHECK THIS SHIT OUT
and you know what I'm okay with being a library tonberry. Tonbrary? Li-berry? Whatever. "Funny little guy with a strong sense of solidarity who has a history of surprising the hell out of people who fuck around for too long" fits.
