I'd date that roastie just so I could hang out with her grandfather. Imagine grilling burgers, drinking shitty beer, and talking about old cars all afternoon with him.

Is this not normal to do? I had always had this reaction to most "funny" shit: groan and not look, change channel or leave the room.

I'd do the same. Old people turning their filter off are nice.
Not to Redditors apparently. I hate this gay neurodivergent term they use now, it reeks of trying to feel special and being another fake mental illness trend.

LISTEN UP BROTHER. If you drive a Harley-Davidson, I better not catch you disrespectin' women, minorities, or ANY OTHER PROTECTED CLASS. In this lauded subculture, we love our Jews. They're God's chosen, and I better not hear a word otherwise, or so help me, I'll call the brothers and we'll be sending you straight to a permaban.

Id imagine these people would have a meltdown if they had to watch "Tom goes to the mayor" or "increasingly poor decisions of Todd Margaret"

I'd rather die than listen to an old boomer for an extended amount of time. You'd get maybe 1 or 2 original stories before he started repeating himself. fuck that shit.

I have Aspergers. When I look at reddit it makes me wonder if I could have ended up like that if my parents didn't actually care or put time in raising me to be functional and independent. I really hate autistic sperg group think.
I wonder if Elon Musk had a similar upbringing?

I wanted to say there's no way someone with autism that high-functional could turn out to be a loser that gets triggered and has nightmares caused by fucking TV shows, but then I remembered there's Chris Chan and TV Tropes userbase.

Same here. I hate it when these losers use "muh spectrum" as an excuse for being shitters and sucking at life.
Growing up with ass burgers, I wanted to know how act normal so I could be treated like a normal person. I hated having the ugly old tardwrangler lady with halitosis breathing down my neck. I wanted to rise above it.
(That said, I won't hesitate to use it as an r-word pass. The Aspergers article on Encyclopedia Dramatica gave me one of the hardest laughing fits of my life.)

I think Chris Chan parents really didn't raise him well. Considering they were in denial form my understanding in the beginning. My parents weren't.

Safe shows.
Of courrrrse they have a 'seeking diagnosis' tag.
The more I'm forced to interact with self-diagnosers the more I dislike them. They've turned the community into such a snowflake competition. They're exactly like the parents who make their kids autism their entire personality. They have such a strange munchie aura about everything they say, I hate it so much. Are they the new vegans?
Also note how they do not have this diagnose-able medical condition, but participate and tell everyone they do. Do that with cancer and people will eat you alive. Why is this ok?

There's some plausible unfalsifiability when it comes to self-diagnosing mental disorders. A condition that isn't physical makes it harder for their munchie bullshit to be called out. "How dare you question my lived experience?"
"Anxiety" or "depression" are the lowest-hanging fruits in that regard.

I think autism appeals to munchie types for a few reasons:
- It is something that is mental, but a lot easier to “pass” off as compared to something like schizophrenia
- It gets you instant sympathy with some people
- You can request special disability services if you do manage to get a diagnosis at school (things like extra testing time, room separated from everyone else during tests, note takers, etc.)
- It’s something that can make you “unique” without really trying
- It’s a lot more glamorous than trying to pass off as having a thing like cancer. No chemo, main thing is going to therapy, and no disfigurement
- It can be used as an excuse for being a jerk to people
- The symptoms are so varied that you can mimic them at some points. Regular people could fall for it, but probably not a psychiatrist unless they’re a quack looking for more money
- The medicines associated with autism, like Zoloft and other SSRIs to treat it, aren’t as embarrassing compared to medicine used to treat things like erectile dysfunction

because mental illness is invisible and impossible to prove or disprove. even professional diagnosis relies on the subjects own words and behavior, and since peoples words can be lies and their behavior can be fake, it's impossible to weed out fakes.

Read the Holland Proudfoot thread, and then tell me if you still think mental illness is invisible.

Not all are invisible. Low functioning autists tend to be even more unaware of their surroundings and suffer from noticeable IQ differences from the general public, so much so that most never attend school. If they do, they are several grade levels below their peers. The resulting low functioning means even less hygiene and typically very bad teeth because it’s hard for them to sit in a dentist office and get a cavity filled without general anesthesia. The differences are more noticeable in the way they take care of themselves, rather than it being something like being born with a cleft lip.
One thing that is similar in many autists that psychiatrists have noticed is a low birthweight even at full term. It isn’t uncommon for autists to be born on time, but be considerably below average in weight. It’s one of the signs, but obviously not a guarantee.
