    Their comments are making broad statements about autistic people and putting the onus of understanding solely on them, when communication is a two way street.

    “Everyone” doesn’t have trouble understanding autistic people; other autistic people are more able to socialize with autistic people than neurotypical people are. Being a minority just means the people who are able to socialize well with autistic people are outnumbered by people who can’t/don’t/won’t.

      I’m sorry but the exact wording of the post was “repeating the exact thing you mean over and over”.

      if you say something and someone doesn’t understand, what do you do? do you repeat the exact same thing? over and over? if so, YOU’RE the problem.

      I swear these tiktok diagnosed mfs are so damn self righteous
