i’m autistic and have anxiety disorders and i personally live in fear of april fools day

because every single april 1st i get “pranked” in a way that takes advantage of my disabilities.

like for the first 9 years of school my friends used to tell me the world was really going to end april 1st and that was my phobia as a child,

so i would spend most of april fools day hiding in the bathrooms having a panic attack whenever a plane sound would go overhead

and one april 1st my friends told me one of my friends was dead and they got half the school to pretend this guy was dead

and i was frantically trying to figure out if they were really dead so i asked a teacher and he was fucking in on it a teacher.

the last 4 years i have gotten screamers, cruel jokes that I can’t tell are sarcasm, or chain posts that scare me so much i can’t sleep at night.

i now avoid the internet and tv all day on april 1st and just sit in my room alone and don’t talk to anyone.

because of my disabilities, I cannot tell when something is a joke or when someone is being sarcastic, even if it seems obvious to other people

tl:dr: don’t use peoples disabilities against them to “prank” them this april 1st.

don’t send screamers or chain posts or fake your death or break up with someone or send someone threats just stop you’re making our lives worse
