An autistic man who finally unmasked with his girlfriend has revealed that he doesn’t really understand what masking is and also he’s kind of a dick, actually.
Dexter Livingstone, 42, reportedly feels so comfortable with girlfriend Emma Bernard, 38, that in the name of disability liberation, he no longer needs to make even a cursory effort with her.
Livingstone explained: “Emma made it really easy for me to unmask my sensory difficulties and social anxiety - so I thought I’d just keep going until I didn’t have to be even a little bit nice to her anymore.”
“Since then, unfortunately, Emma has revealed herself to be massively ableist, despite also being autistic,” Livingstone continued. “Like when she burst into tears just because I hated her new dress.”
“Honestly you’d think I’d blown my nose on the dress, not her fancy guest towels,” Livingstone continued. “I guess she’s not the safe person she pretended to be.”
Livingstone was last seen angrily deleting his Reddit account after his AITA post didn’t go the way he’d been expecting.
