Not to defend the insulting but most people don't realise that the person is autistic. Autism has different spectrum and some of the symptoms are very subtle for the untrained. I have a family member who is diagnosed with autism late in life, which explains a lot when we were growing up.
That is true and fair, and the fact that plenty of these issues come from ignorance is good enough for me to think that not everyone that the post is calling out is some sort of irredeemable moral failing. Though that only goes as far as the people involved are willing to listen and understand that on the best of days, atypical, innocuous behavior isn't something you should be mocking, that you only have the impulse to do so because your monkey brain wants to punch someone down the social hierarchy ladder and that's pretty fucking dumb; and on the worst of days, it's yet another contributing factor to complete social alienation and internalized shame for autistic people.
Does anyone have that image of the fucked up fork meme that was going around a few days ago?. I hated that one and was telling about it but couldn't find it.
Is it this one? I never saw it, but I googled "fork meme" and this was a likely candidate.
What a minute......autism is not a blood type?
This is just straight hypocritical from them
With how frequently I see hypocrisy I'm beginning to hypothesize the neurotypicals aren't good at, at-least, that kind of logical consistency.
