Not to be a buzzkill but this makes autism sound like some singular random quirky trait rather than a complex and profound difference in how you process the world around you as well as your own thoughts. Really rubs me the wrong way as an autist.
I really hope that’s how most people read it, even though it doesn’t read like that to me at all. If the way it comes off to me is a common way to read it, that’d be pretty harmful. So I really hope your reading is the more common one.
When I initially came across this picture the first few times, I have read in a similar manner as the other commenter replied as well.
While I never got the original intention behind whoever updated the text in the picture that I’ve posted, it’s resonated with me in a positive way.
as another autist this is just very much how it feels, though
there’s a pretty clear tendency for people to fall into various broad “kinds” of autism, just like how people in general tend to fall into categories like “sports person”, “fishing enthusiast”, or “motor vehicle nerd”
