If you find autism self diagnosis so concerning, you are more than welcome to send a self diagnosed stranger $2000+ so they can seek a professional assessment.

Very well said OP ❤️
if you think “high functioning” people arent “autistic enough” to represent “low functioning” people
then you as a neurotypical certainly arent capable of representing them either
Do not use good days against chronically ill people.
I might be able to mow the lawn (with a lot of effort) one day, but other days I almost pass out if I stand up. Illness and pain fluctuate. I am not using my chronic conditions as an excuse when it's "convenient for me."
Don't tell chronically ill people that their conditions are an excuse. Don't use their good days as an argument against their validity as a disabled person. Don't assume we're cured when we have good days. We don't need to hear it.
No, disabled people don’t owe you an explanation about how their disability affects them
No, disabled people don’t owe you the story of their disability
No, you don’t have a right to tell someone they don’t look disabled
No, you don’t have a right to be offended if a disabled person refuses to answer your questions
pretty interesting how neurotypicals will jokingly call each other “autistic” all the time with no issues, but as soon as an actual autistic person is involved they’re like “oh you mean those struggling with their life on the spectrum?” or some shit
like wtf let us reclaim the word you’ve made into a slur please, im autistic
“Yes, yes I am autistic” autism
i’m sorry you guys, but if a certain ship becoming endgame in a cartoon meant for children is enough to make your entire mental state deteriorate – if it flings you into depression, if it makes you want to call in from work/school, if it makes you have panic/anxiety attacks, if it prevents you from being able to function – you seriously need to take a step back and either see a therapist or stop watching the show.
