The definition "allistic that wants to be autistic" sounds like a joke to me. Maybe the website with the definition is a prank? The normal definiton of trans-autistic is a autistic trans person.

well if it was a joke it spiralled into an actual thing

I seem to recall we've had a trans-allistic poster.
Formally diagnosed with autism, but I don't identify as autistic, they'd remind us.

Maybe it was me. I changed my username due to being stalked. Now I think PDA is a good explanation for my autistic traits. It still falls under the autism umbrella, but it explains why I don’t “feel autistic” a lot of the time.

PDA is a symptom of poor executive function, it's strongly associated with ADHD and ASD because without them, one won't experience it.

Currently it isn't recognized as a separate condition from autism so even if PDA is applicable, it doesn't replace an ASD diagnosis, it compliments it.

What about believing your an allist trapped in an autistic body? Lol. That's sort of how I was in my early 20's.

Also what would we call activists who refuse to go with transautism? Teraas?

It's funny how nobody ever wants to have fetal alcohol syndrome, fragile x or downs syndrome or anything like that.

If someone starts throwing enough money or status at fetal alcohol syndrome, fragile x, or downs - you'd be surprised. I think they're trying to hit that magic question box in Mario that spits out coins indefinitely - for as long as they can - and in this case the coins are status bumps. As the youngins say 'They farming!'

The human race gets more insane every day. Why would NTs want to pretend to be ND when the whole world basically treats us like garbage? They think we're all violent, creepy, gross, weird, and intellectually disabled, all thanks to the media.

It must be because autistic people are constantly being infantilized, and the NTs think they'll get away with being childish and immature if they are autistic.

Or maybe it's because of Munchausen by Internet, or in this case, Munchausen by Autie. :roll:

Whatever the reason, I hate it. I heard someone say on Reddit today that nearly everyone who is autistic on the internet is "self-diagnosed", and it makes me scared that people will think I'm not really clinically diagnosed or have ASD, especially since I don't "act autistic enough".

I'd say that clearly some people don't view us that way, some people think we're just cute and quirky and that's probably why they'd like to be one of us.

Since when is autism quirky, anyway?
I hate that stereotype.

Autistic people aren't cute little pets.
They're humans with nervous system disorders.

Quirks are eccentricities, no?
Autistics tends to be eccentric.

We're likely to be quirky, but it's not fair to reduce us to just our moe points.

Quirky as in being particular, or even picky, yes.
Quirky as in being an adult who acts like a child or an animal and is adorably cute, not necessarily.

(Nothing wrong with acting like a child or an animal, I suppose, but it's not specific to autism.)

It's mostly a stereotype autistic women face, like we're supposed to be lap dogs or something.

I can see why people might find eccentricities cute; after all, kids tend to be uninhibited and being uninhibited enough to display eccentricities instead of masking them seems like where the connection is made.

But I've never understood why people would assume someone who's cute would also be docile. Even if the person is a complete (wo)man-child, kids can be brats and childish adults often have pretty bratty tendencies.

It's probably one women face more, but it seems to be a sub-type of a broader stereotype; people who are viewed as dorky tend to also be viewed as docile pushovers.
It's like on some level the assumption is dorky/quirky = childish = well-behaved childish.
