How do people feel about autism?

Autism is a spectrum disorder, meaning that it ranges from high functioning autists with a high or above average IQ on one end of the spectrum, to people with severely debilitating autism and cognitive deficits, who end up living in an assisted living facility, on the other end of the spectrum. Tarring every autist with the same brush is ridiculous. Regarding the latter: how much of a narcissistic gaslighter do have to be to think in terms of a “free pass”? Seriously, regarding the latter: do you think people who have difficulty tending to their basic needs really know that what they’re doing is considered “inappropriate”? I mean, there are even high functioning autists who are brilliant mathematicians, musicians, linguists, but serious “díckheads” (can’t blame them) because they can’t read social cues because of their autism, to the point they act “inappropriately” in public (the famous classical pianist Glenn Gould for example) it’s not a question of giving people a free pass. The term alone conjures up childish envy, when life shouldn’t really be about envy. Life should be about acceptance and human dignity.

There’s a difference between being an intentional -and unintentional “díckhead” and what is appropriate or not, is a question of moral relativism. I mean, being a progressive, my morals are probably a lot more relaxed and “loose” than let’s say, a conservative Bible Thumper like @LostCause.

I’m not really a fan of religious zealots and bigots, especially Christian ones, there’s something two-faced about them, don’t mind the other zealots (as long as they leave me alone)

Just because someone has a different opinion to you doesn't make them a racist, sexist, homophobic but it's fine you can never win against a triggered wokie like you anyway Erica, you will never not be miserable.

autism is a very serious condition, that is often used now today as a crutch to justify seriously twisted behavior…

like @Mutaeo for instance using his autism as an excuse to lewdly harass teenagers 🙎🏼‍♀️

Agreed, many people make fun of autistic people, it's not a funny thing to be joked about. It took me many years just to be able to go outside, and even now I struggle to do most things. I've lost many friends because they thought I was just a weirdo not worth being around. I hate people who use their disability for any kind as an excuse to be an idiot, it makes everybody else with autism look bad.

Out of curiosity: do you have a diagnosis? Some people have trouble socializing because of social anxiety stemming from low self-esteem unrelated to their autism. There are cases of autistic people who are very social, in the sense that they want to socialize and can read social cues, but on top of their autism also suffer from social anxiety and their asocial behaviour gets mistaken for being a typical autistic trait.
