One of my biggest tin foil hat theories is that people will do anything to invalidate the negative traits of Autism.
Niggas will go on and on about how Autism makes you so heccin' valid, and how you can still be a semi-functioning person, but the second you fuck up, then those same people do a 180. "Oh, Autism is never an excuse for your misdeeds or mistakes. I'm an Autist too but I would NEVER, EVER do what you did, right guys? I-I'm one of the good ones, Right?"
You can't even say that Autism isn't an excuse but an explanation, because these fucks will say it doesn't matter, because THEY would never do such a heinous thing.
