Big same, yet when I got old and stopped caring about anything, and started paying more attention to others than my own problems, I started to notice autistic tendencies in almost everyone I have interacted with. Even people that bully or hate on autistic people. The hyperfixation on negative things or on really awful views on people and the world is always strong in those ones, paired with other weird brain shit like complexes coupled with total denial and inability to accept that they are wrong. I've been feeling like everyone is autistic and there is just more axes to the spectrum than I had been told in the past. Like rather than a point on a line, it's a coordinate in a cube. The most central ones are 'neurotypical' and it moves outward in all directions in 3d space.
On a side note neroatypical/nerotypical as a term kinda pisses me off because I swear it's more typical for people to be neuroatypical than what is considered neurotypical. People just think they are 'normal' but they are wrong. And it's not lesbians or vaccines, if anything its the forever chemicals and microplastics that these evil fucking corpos have been pumping into us and the world and we are only going to see more and more autism, and only the ultra wealthy will be able to call themselves normal while the rest of us will be considered defective.
Some of the crazies are probably half right but it's not vaccines and Bill Gates 5g nanobots as part of a lizard-people plot; it's bisphenols and phthalates and driven by profit and ignorance. We're poisoning ourselves and the world and we're only just starting to notice.
