back when the “Asperger’s” label was still in use, the term “aspie supremacy” was coined to describe this very phenomenon (along with a couple other beliefs positing that we’re somehow innately superior). the concept is now referred to as “autistic supremacism”, which I think is a better way to put it regardless, but it seems like that phrase hasn’t caught on in the same way yet

This is a thing? Damn well if I ever meet someone like this, as an autistic person with Asperger syndrome, I will put them in there place. High functioning autistic kids may be able to learn at a rapid speed and have insane intelligence, but we still make mistakes and definitely are not perfect. Autism has a dark side that many don’t know about. Depression, anxiety, impulsivity, controlling, anger issues, OCD, and so so much more. So any cocky autistic individual can go shove it 😃.

I see this a lot in people doing the whole replacing nt/allistic with narcissist and acting like blunt communication is always superior and always accessible to every autistic person. Also, acting like everyone with autism is always a passive victim unable to internalize bigotries or struggle with communication or be mean. I’ve yet to meet a truly cocky autistic person outside of myself though. Most of the ppl i meet saying shit like this are the fawning autistic folk.

Sorry, tbh I don’t get everything you said entirely. Could just be me being slow or being distracted because people are talking around me… anyway. I will say, autistic people tend to be extremely blunt yes. Me included. This is part of the reason I was bullied. Because I don’t know when to shut my mouth, I’m very honest and very blunt. If I have something to say, I say it. I’m ok with this tbh though because I know that my true friends will always be by my side. I’m a great communicator though.

Continued… I am extremely open with everyone and I hate lying. I also hate liars too and cut off anyone that lies to me. That’s just something I live by. People tend to call me an asshole for this even though lying is a shity thing to do to someone. I have met autistic people who were terrible at communicating, and I have met some that lied so much that it was actually crazy. I’ve been through a lot in life but a lot of it was not Autism related. Most of it was BPD related.

Most autistic people hate lying. I’ve definitely met those that lie as a defense mechanism, but I’ve also met autistic people who have been proven to be telling the truth on multiple occasions be constantly accused of lying because people read them wrong, myself included. Its frustrating. I got bullied for the same reasons though, i had no filter and also people always assumed i was lying when I wasn’t, has been a constant consistent theme in my life to the point where I start to doubt my trut

Like ppl have assumed I’m lying when I’m not since fucking elementary school. I have no idea how to mimick the nt truth telling cues when I’m telling an important truth and it sucks balls

Glad to see you understand. Honestly, people believe me 100% of the time only because they know I research and because I speak very formally. I love English and am a very good public speaker. But yea I completely get it. I’ve seen that happen before with autistic people. Some people have told me that it’s extremely hard to know I’m autistic unless they get to know me.
