Like you said, it's a spectrum. Your kids high support needs don't invalidate those of us who have lower support needs and have been masking our entire lives.
It's also hilarious how I mention it and one immediately shows up
The literal diagnosis of autism from my fucking psychologist you absolute troglodyte
What's wrong with you?
You understand it's a spectrum but you're claiming that unless someone needs heavy support they're faking it? Fuck any diagnosed kids then if they're not heavily autistic.
It's literally this attitude that keeps so many people from getting a diagnosis and receiving any help they might need. This attitude makes people think "Oh im not the perfect model *insert neurodivergency*, I don't want to take away resources from anyone else, I'll just cope for the rest of my life and go on living like this wondering why I feel so different than other people"
~~Respectfully,~~ fuck you.
Actually fuck that you don't deserve my respect.
The meme you're responding to exists because of your attitude and people like you.
When I read your comment the first time and saw the "respectfully" I thought, wow, you are more polite than I have been x) it made me chuckle to see you reconsider (rightfully, in my opinion).
