People say the darndest things don't they? #autistic #autism #autisticfemales #relatable

So what kind of autistic are you? What kind of what? You know, like, what kind of autistic are you? Are you, like, one of those autistics that are, like, really good at math? No. Can you, like, play the piano really good? Not at all, actually. Are you, like, Rain Man? Rain Man didn't actually have autism, that's a misconception. Oh my gosh, are you, like, Elon Musk? No. Well, okay, but, like, you can't feel stuff, right? Define stuff. Well, like, emotions and stuff, right? Like, you don't have any empathy? I actually have more empathy than the average person. Are you sure? Yeah, I can't even watch sad animal videos or videos of a human being feeling embarrassed. Oh my god, those videos are so funny. Nope, nope, they are physically painful to watch. Wait, so do you, like, stim all the time, then? There are things I do to self-soothe, yeah. Oh my god, do you love fidget toys? No, actually, I don't use a lot of fidget toys. Are you nonverbal? I would assume that my obvious ability to communicate to you in a frank and straightforward fashion using an extensive lexicon of vocabulary would indicate otherwise. I don't know what those words mean. I know you don't. But, like, you don't look autistic. What the hell does that mean? I mean, like, you know, you don't, like, look autistic. I'm just saying, my aunt has a friend that has a cousin whose nephew is autistic, and you don't act anything like him. Oh, that's so funny, because my aunt's cousin's nephew is a really decent person, and you don't resemble them either. You're funny. True. Is that your superpower? Maybe.
