Describing perfectly normal human foibles, thoughts and feelings: “Look at me! I’m ADHD and autistic and neurodivergent and that makes me totally special! You wouldn’t understand.”
Motherfuckers need to watch The Breakfast Club. We’re all struggling in our own ways, but under the hood we’re pretty much all the same.
Wait, when did calling someone a normie or normal have to do with autism? Like I understand the link, but I had always it had been about making a distinction between inside and outside of your particular subculture. Like traditionally normies don’t know/care about things people on 4chan know/care about, because they’re outside of the culture. But the distinction could be for any subculture/interest.

No. The problem is pathologizing it. And those who self-pathologize themselves over it and use ‘normie’ as an insult.
Sadly people generally have a obsessive need to pathologize and demonize anything different than them.
God, I hate people who do that. There’s something fundamentally wrong with them.

Phew, what a roundhouse kick.
And you’re right, some people do that. But throwing all together is a massive asshole move.
You’re the reason I need to pay to get a diagnosis. So I have proof. Not that it means anything to me because I know.
I just want do give you that reflection. It sucks being in a minority (which, yes, you literally can not understand).
they don’t have the attention span to watch a 90 minute movie.
