Anyone else never heard of this made up day for NT's?
It’s made by and for people with autism. The link details this.
On another forum, an autistic person stated that didn't like the idea of the day because it divides the population into autistic people and regular people rather than seeing us all as just regular people. I can see arguments for both sides, and the topic seems like it's relevant to many marginalized communities.
Told my autistic friend about this just now and told him he should celebrate. His reply: "how should one celebrate this?"
he can tell someone all about a topic he's currently interested in
He always talks my ear off about minecraft, pokemon, or skyrim. So that's an every day occurrence lol
