Yeah, fuck her. Her initial defense was “I’m rude and I can’t help it.” Bullshit.

I think you’re correct. A lot of people with no social skills or who are plain assholes are like “oh I’m just autistic” without a diagnosis. Alt-rights et al have coopted the term for their own usage to the detriment of people who are actually on the spectrum. 

1. I’m not autistic. I do have an autistic housemate, and 4 severely autistic friends. So I’m writing this based on what I’ve been told by them.

A lot of Nazis on twitter claim to be autistic, but I think many of those are self-diagnoses based on the assumption that unlikeable=autistic. I have a friend with a proper Asperger’s diagnosis and he is NOT an unlikeable dick (or a Nazi).

I’d say basically no one I know who’s on the austism spectrum is a racist asshole. It’s just a case of racists trying to paper over their racism with something more palpable and relatable.

Yeah a lot of people with shit personalities seem to have really taken to the “everyone is somewhat autistic” thing as an excuse for being people with shit personalities.

I got Autism and I’ll tell you the one thing I and other autistic’s lack is the ability to perceive differences.

Has everyone missed the goddamn point that she is saying her disability is racism, not autism?
