It’s kind of exhausting that I’m often measured by my ability to mimic a genuine able-bodied neurotypical™.

I’m not your punchline.

MY

ILLNESS

IS

NOT

A

JOKE

STOP.

Do you have no concept of how hurtful these “jokes” are? People love to make light of narcolepsy or crack jokes about it because “lmao it’s so funny people just fall sleep how hilarious and quirky hahahaha”.

Stop.

I see stuff like this floating around and it’s disgusting. My suffering is not your punchline. My insecurity and illness and disability is not your joke. Shut up. Shove off. I am not your punchline.
