Except that’s not at all what autism is and this is a harmful take on autism

listen, i know you're autistic, but part of socializing is learning how to take a joke, especially when it's a neurodivergent community joking its own neurodiversity

It doesn’t make sense though?

Also exactly 0% of autism is talking down to someone. Never start your sentences with “listen” unless you’re intentionally being rude.

It insinuates - to me, as someone who’s never seen those memes - that unsocialized kids are autistic or vice versa. It kind of plays into that whole homeschool trope.

I don’t think it’s insinuating anything, it’s just supposed to be relatable. Harmful association or not, I think a lot of autistic people here can relate with not feeling like they socialized properly as kids.

I understand, but not feeling like you’re socializing properly is very different to the message behind “not socialized enough.” It’s insinuating your parents socially neglected you, and that’s why you’ve got autism.

Some of us have both <3 if we wanna take things super literally this isn’t even just a page for autism, a CPTSD can be on the neurodivergent spectrum

If you mean neurodivergent by traumatized or mentally ill, sure. However, autism and CPTSD are two totally different conditions, despite the fact that autistic people are more likely to have traumatic experiences. One is a neurodevelopmental disorder, the other is a type of brain injury (yes, PTSD is a form of brain injury) caused by excessive abuse or trauma. They are not on the same spectrums.

I think there should be a different page for people who have CPTSD and autism together, and others for people who have either or.
