    Being autistic is taking a normal interaction every human experiences and pretending it is unique to you and your autistic peers.

      Trivializing is taking very real and major struggles that certain humans experience to much greater degree than others and pretending it has the same gravity as minor annoyances that a wide range of people experience.

      If your comment is a joke or otherwise intended to be lighthearted, I apologize, but people saying in earnest what you said is a pretty major pet peeve of mine.

      Real “Chronic depression doesn’t exist because everyone feels sad sometimes” energy.

      Some people experience some things more than others. I believe that’s how they place you on the spectrum

      Is getting bullied for walking a certain way and talking in a “funny way” for their whole lifetime every human experience? Cause I didn’t experience any of those yet I’ve seen my friends go through it. Are you suggesting autism is not real? You must be living in a whole new world.

        No, he is obviously suggesting that this horribly generalistic shit take in the pic has nothing to do about autism
