What is Autism, anyway?

[BradeRunna]

It's an over diagnosed condition the medical industry uses so they don't have to tell the parents that their kids are weirdos. They don't want to say, "your kid is a fucking weirdo" and sound like the doctors from Idiocracy.

I will tell you what it isn't--a badge of honor

Don't get me wrong, I think it's cute society tried to integrate them in real life by not shaming the term . But it has backfired massively.

Autists love to brag about having it as if they were talking about being left handed. You don't see people bragging about having BPD or schizoprenia for a very good reason. It is a terrible idea to parade your weaknesses or that you might be very gullible and prone to manipulation.

If CWC has taught us anything is that like it or not autism does give you a disadvantage, and the most severe cases do require professional help and attention instead of keeping the charade that nothing is wrong.
