Honestly, when it's just text, it's hard to tell if people are being sarcastic, serious, or whatever because you can't hear tone or see facial cues. You lose a lot of context when it's just text.

I just have a bad experience was the "autism rights" activists. Some of the organizations they tell you to support instead of Autism Speaks are the ones that tell you that it's "ableist" to use words like "stupid", "crazy", and "dumb". I also hate how some don't like it when you say "Asperger's Syndrome" because Hans Asperger was probably a eugenicist. Guess what, so was Alexander Graham Bell. A lot of inventions and discoveries are from abhorrent people.

And it's drama like that leads to further (unnecessary) policing of language. It's shit like this why we have CoCs and banning of terms like "sanity check".

>You need to inform yourself more on the subject, specially when it comes to autistic *adults* aka people that either learned the hard way by themselves

That's literally me. I'm autistic and learned on my own to pass as neurotypical. As a kid, my mom took me to a lot of programs for autistic people. Many of the adults there said that they couldn't believe that I was autistic. There were pre-teens acting like toddlers. The autism spectrum is more than just simply Asperger's (I'm calling it that despite the atrocities Han's Asperger may have done) and sever autism. There is shit in between. You and I are clearly less severe than Chris Chan who is unable to learn. I agree that Chris Chan is a disgrace to the autistic community and probably has other conditions like personality disorders, but he is clearly autistic.

>therapy (not "treatment" there is no relevant drugs/surgery/whatever, in a way because there's nothing to really fix, but more things to learn)

That's what I meant. I'll admit that I used the wrong word there.

@lanodan But autism is still part of the problem and even then, some autistic people are more severe than others.

@lanodan Some autistic people are more severe than others (that's why it's called a "spectrum"). In other cases their parents weren't aware or denied their child's autism so they never got the proper treatment, which is clearly the case in people like Chris Chan.
