I am here to tell you as an early-diagnosed low-masking autistic that "self-diagnosed TikTok autism fakers" are a non-issue.

Like, okay...maybe saying you're autistic will get you positive attention and validation in some online communities, but once you log off pretty much all you get is the complete opposite.

The way people talk about autism in real life is not anywhere near as kind or progressive as in the online autistic community. A lot of professionals still have very outdated beliefs about autism, and honestly so do most people. I still regularly come across people who don't even know what autism is.

Autistic people are generally not treated very well by society, to put it lightly. Calling yourself autistic in real life will rarely benefit you socially and will likely never get you the same kind of validation and community you find online.

I am simply not convinced that anyone just decides to self-diagnose autism for fun, let alone seek out a formal diagnosis. If someone decides that the benefits outweigh the risks, they are already struggling a lot and likely already being treated poorly for their autistic traits.

It's so frustrating that I'm only seeing more and more lobotomy jokes. Especially "live, laugh, lobotomy" merch.

You are making fun of the torture of disabled people. People with intellectual disability and severe mental illness brutally had parts of their brain severed or killed. Many people died from this. We can never know the true impact because the people who endured this were not the same after.

We shouldn't be bringing this up in any lighthearted way. This was a tragedy, and we should be showing basic human respect to the victims. I don't think anyone can "reclaim" it and no one should want to. Please treat it with the severity and respect you would to any other mass tragedy from history.

See my problem is apart from being crippled I’m also dyspraxic, I’ll hit the wrong direction the first few times

Oh no I'm just a weak defenseless cripple ---*whacks you with my cane*--- *dramatic reveal of all the others I have tricked this way*

Kind of a hot take but i dont think we can solve the issue of marginalized people being treated like children without asking ourselves why we treat children like subhuman objects incapable of thinking and undeserving of autonomy

anyway be normal about people with renal or gastrointestinal disabilities and conditions. your personal hang ups about anyone's disability are worthless. leave them far away from disabled people.

physically disabled person: hi

every abled neurodivergent person in the whole world: Hi I know this isn't about autism but I have executive dysfunction and I really think we should talk about that more not to derail or anything I just wanted to share my experience :) don't forget that not all disabilities are visible! I have anxiety and depression and this explains sooo much!

maybe if that united healthcare shooter knocks out 33 more CEOs he'll be up to 34 felonies and he can run for president...

Love how it's now "pathologizing" to put a name to your illnesses and disabilities and to connect them to your behaviors in any way. This is definitely a great change we've made in neurodivergent circles, absolutely no risk of taking away people's ability to advocate for themselves or discuss their conditions or find people like them. There will be no negative effect whatsoever from telling people that publicly naming their experiences as anything other than vague symptoms is somehow toxic, I'm sure.

Every post about the antisemitism of the word cabal includes reblogs or comments from people very sincerely offering alternatives but.

You don't need alternatives, okay? If you mean billionaires, then say billionaires. If you mean CEOs, then say CEOs. If you mean conservative politicians, then say conservative politicians. Etc, etc.

You do not actually need a word to describe a shadowy group of all powerful people who control the world's governments, media, and money because that group does not exist and if you think it does, congrats, you've fallen down antisemitic conspiracy theory pipelines and you need to pull yourself out of that shit immediately.
