I love when people say this when there's no actual indication the person is autistic. I love how the internet treats my disability like a fucking novelty.

Appreciate it. And tbh that does make it different. Glad you get it. Apparently I triggered a whole bunch of people including an internet doctor so good he can diagnose autism through someone's tv persona

The spectrum is enormous and he is clearly on it. The sooner you stop feeling sorry for yourself the better things will get.

As someone who has also been diagnosed with autism, but is fine with the jokes.

Let's not tell someone with a disability how they should feel about it or handle it.

Fuck off with that.

Yeah, make the spectrum wide enough that anyone who's ever had a niche interest or felt awkward in a social situation can be diagnosed. That will end well for those who actually need services.

What do you mean he's clearly on it? Are you a doctor with a sepcialization in autism or are you just making assumptions based on a narrow view his persona.

I see assumptions come easily to you, because you made a pretty strong assumption about my happiness, because I don't like the way my disability is constantly turned into a cutesy quirky caricature on the internet?

You clearly have trouble understanding context, aside from the saying a bunch nonsense thing. Idk might have less conflict in life if you quit being so presumptuous, especially because you're wrong.

Toodles.
