Obv, escluding Elon Musk... is obv.

This, we say it always at home. We got this at our national tv.
Thousands of motivations.
The problems aren't even in what but HOW... victimism, how people aroud them react. Cringe. :skull: (I want be clear the behaviors do exist in people but is the climax that is cringe)
What sucks the most is that "normies" do really react and see like that us.
This is "stupid" not other words... society is really so stupid. Society is really so IGNORANT. :skull:
The representation of the autistic is vaguely correct, nothing bad, but they show it as if we are stupid :roll:

Or even worse this.

NT Hollywood & media is only interested in superpowers, a kind of myth born out of hyper focus but doesnt necessarily translate into a "superpower"

Take the "superpower" away and they soon get bored.

Its strange as autism is so common now, nearly every NT knows someone dealing with autism, family member, friend, work colleague, child in their child`s school, they don't see this superpower only disability but they keep pushing this false narrative.

Maybe repetition makes in true :roll:

Americans have always gone for the quirky genius type character. The difference now is either they are labeled autistic or coded autistic. Outside of some parents and autistics nobody seems to be objecting to the superpower label. It is not just Autism the use of my superpower, his superpower, her superpower etc is ubiquitous here.
