it sure as hell ain't a disease. more like a superpower. there are so many things i can do or see that i can't even try to explain them to neurotypicals

and there's another advantage... cool people like allies and other people on the spectrum get closer to me, and ableists get turned away pretty quickly!

@graphite@shonk.phite.ro tbh, I think of it neither as a disease or an advantage - it's just being different!

@graphite@shonk.phite.ro autism is NOT a superpower
or a disease
it's a disability
and some things aren't all bad
but "autism is a superpower" isnt something you want to say

@graphite@shonk.phite.ro Just, please don't say that

Autism is a spectrum, and you can't just say that autism is a superpower because that addresses the entire spectrum. Some parts of it can be, but I would say those are blursed at best from my experience.

(idk how to respond more than that without trauma dumping, please just don't say this)
