Like if you pick GrapheneOS dev I could see them being autistic and ending up in a negative feedback loop when it comes to social skills, which autism really doesn't helps you with. But if you short it to autism, it's quite the wrong direction and it's false, both because neurotypical folks can end up with this kind of problem and because there's autistic folks without it.

Like I still have annoying at times social anxiety when it comes to specific things, I could blame me being autistic on it, but it's not the actual cause and I'd rather just give the actual symptoms anyway as I find it more clear to both people and myself.

Specially as autism stays but social anxiety is a thing you can more or less get over with, same logic for social skills.

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

Kind of triggered me… sorry if I was too harsh in the reply btw.

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 don't realize how damaging it is to normalize that language. It could lead to genocide and eugenics. But I wouldn't expect a social darwinist like you to understand.
