Another Internet rant and autism rep

[snailbly]

I hate how infantilized neurodiversity has become on platforms or turned into completely into stereotypes and completely silly I know that theres more access and doctors are starting to understand autism better now so now people are finding it a bit easier to get dianogsed now but its almost like a trend now like how people it was that all autisc people are obessed with sharks on tiktok at one point when its not silly all time of course I'm not saying its bad to make jokes about being silly sometimes or even saying its bad to joke about hyperfixations/special interests and like collections shoutout to autistic people with really cool collections of things they love and autistic content creators its just annoying to hear some people treat it as this silly thing or even downright baby autistic adults or act as if theyre not serious

i meanm most autistic reps are really smart just annoying and hyperfixiated on trains

[moonlitprxsm]

I get this one...It's really irritating when people put labels on you and stereotype you just because your brain works differently...

[snailbly]

@L0S3r yeah I would say thats in like tv shows I was mainly pointing out online platform like tiktok I don't know if I put this in the category but I did really like how aurther explained autism in that one episode despite still going off the train obessed trope

[snailbly]

@moonlitprxsm yeah my brother calls me autismo and says I need to be kept on a leash

[moonlitprxsm]

@flutterfluff SORRY WHAT

[snailbly]

@flutterfluff 2020 sucked for Autistic people... as someone that tried to say they are really autistic, but blamed for faking 'cuz "everyone does it".

[snailbly]

@soleil I hated those stupid nonverbal emojis there was a really funny ulgy one I still quote "autism activated "

[Faust]

@flutterfluff Beep. boop. Beep boop. boop Boop. Autism activated. ADHD signals functioning. Let's start my daily life of being an AuDHD patient.

@soleil LMAOOOO I CAN'T

[spamburger]

If everyone with hyperfixations is autistic, I'm autistic.

[snailbly]

@marnonswitch2011 I wasn't saying that at all Its just one common trait that people post about often when they say theyre autistic theres other factors as well

[Andyboi]

being offensive to everyone is insta reels specialty btw, theres no stoping it there

[snailbly]

@TheAndyboi I don't use insta reels at all

@L0S3r Trains are just cool like that

[spamburger]

@flutterfluff My point was that people who portray autism, and hyperfixations like that were wrong, I was not disagreeing in any way with you.

@marnonswitch2011 ohhhhh I couldn't understand your message at first but I understand now- yupp
