This is some good shit. As a white American male, I say: fuck sexism and racism. You go, girl.

What was that? O:

That’s not only stupid, that sounds fucking illegal.

God sometimes I really hate people. I’d ask how this lady is so freaking assumptive and stupid, but I remembered that she’s just being reactionary because she hates what he’s talking about.

Yee. “Everyone is a bit autistic” and “autism is an infinite spectrum” really piss me off. Like, I have real symptoms. Trichotillomania and auditory meltdowns and hyperfocus are real things I deal with, people.

In the end, if you don’t share (some or more) symptoms, you don’t share a diagnosis— medical or mental. Autism needs to be understood so autistic people can get support and tools. If that means we need more-specific words than just “autism”, then that’s just how it is.
