Clearly? I always thought it was just 4chan and twitch frothingfash chuds melting down not autists, let alone not ever hearing about autistic "meltdowns" as a thing. Thanks for the education.

Yeah naw its always been a dig at autistic people, at least Ive never seen otherwise personally

(also probably don't say autist either? if you're autistic yourself do whatever but otherwise, its autistic people not autistics but if you're doing a reclaimatory thing go off I have no right to call you off)

First place I saw it was on 4chan making fun of autistics, but that was decades ago
