Me when I try to talk about my dumbass interests (the fact i have autism may or may not be a cause of having said interests)

yapping about about

The autism stuff is real 🥹

Like fym I have a disorder that both makes me nerdy AND ruins my life and also gets infantilized on the internet via ableist bullshit like the tbh creature

For reall!

Also i hate how the internet thinks autism is a great thing and people think they really have it just because they like weird things and they 'stim' (literally they only did it because they know it's a stereotypical autistic thing to do), like autism sucks and while it sometimes is semi-okay, it still isn't a fun thing to have

Like also, with infantilization / "quirkification" like the tbh creature, it's all just stupid because it makes some of those issues seem cutesy

Like it's all "fu​​n and games" until someone makes a down syndrome creature or a cerebral palsy creature

Mental illness and mental/physical disabilities are nothing to joke about
(Unless there's dark humor of course but it shouldn't just be edgy for edgy's sake)

Yes exactly! The tbh creature is cute, but it being an 'autism figure' is just so wrong and offensive. It's not funny, and it should never have been. 🥹
