"But I’m Autistic Bro!"

It is incredibly concerning to me that it is considered “trendy” to be autistic. Why would anyone want to label themselves having a crutch?

Like, it’s an incurable disability.

We can say that people who are autistic are not bad, and even that autistic people, especially men (overwhelmingly diagnosed with males) wouldn’t be who they are without autism! That’s ok.

What’s not ok is self diagnosed and people chasing clout. It makes the struggles that much harder, and I actually think it makes autistic people look bad because of these fucking influencers.

Yeah, there are girls who get diagnosed…but this is going to make men who already are struggling have an even worse time with a burden to bear.

Why is it any progress we make, like autism acceptance, is immediately taken and made such a non serious thing?!

And you can’t even speak out against it or your life will be ruined

while i argre that some people do claim autism without having it and the topic of the video removed from the autism dialogue and is more of a generalized thing about men internalizing society being anti male as them have a personal problem but this guy from the way he talks doesn't seem to know how autism actually works.

For 1 autism is very good at going on for years without you or anyone noticing. a lot of autitic people will learn to mask from a very early age appearing mostly fine, if not a bit weird at work while being, and absolute mess in the personal life; broken/ unable relationships with friends family and partners, general lack of home and personal upkeep, and a heavy relince on drugs, porn and coffee are all symptoms that don't follow the stereo type of the small child who loves trains.

Alot of autistic people will know that their suffering and need help while not knowing or even suspecting they have autism leading to plenty of people going years without diagnosis.

Also autism isn't even that rare in the first place about 2% of the population is on the spectrum. its likely that in your life time you've probably talked to and interacted with many autistic people you probably even work consistently with a few of them.
