April is Autism Awareness month, so…I’m going to p!ss everyone off. I have no idea why this is a thing, but some people will say they identify as an Autistic person, who’d makes me want to strangle someone. I’m not kidding. I swear that I found proof, but I unfortunately can’t find it anymore. It you guys could help me look, that’d be great.
Faith in humanity has officially been lowered to -5%.
Yes. WHY do they think this is ok? They even say we can’t call ourselves Aspies. B!tch, I can call myself what I want.
And yet they can call themselves Autistic?
Okay
Yes. It’s counterintuitive.
I think people think SJW’s are all Autistic. Well, they can’t all be.
SJWs like that make me ashamed to have opinions
Me too. They just make me ashamed of everything.
It’s called autigender… and just no
I don’t think I get what you’re saying.
there are some people who have decided that their gender is autism
it doesn’t make sense
but it exists, and it’s pretty much ew no for the community
Thanks. Yeah, it’s disgusting.
What?! Since when?! Autism is NOT a gender, it is a spectrum!
I’m autistic, and hearing this offends the h-ll outta me!
I know.
Oh same
I did not come this far - a) to try and socially transition as a non binary person, and b) to be recognised as autistic and proud of it, to have both identities be ridiculed by… this
Yeah. It’s like we’ve taken a step back.
Ok WAIT
@Ouijaloveletters @Dramatic15, thought you might wanna read this:
Autigender | LGBTA Wiki | Fandom (wikia.org)
I still don’t like the way some people use it, and do not plan to use it myself, however judging from this ^, the term had a pretty innocent beginning, so to speak
What is AutiGender? – The Relationship Between Autism & Gender – An Autistic Perspective – Neurodivergent Rebel
This also explains a little
What is “Autigender?” – The Autistic Alien (wordpress.com)
I think this has a good stance too
ᐅ Autigender – Meaning & Origin | SlangLang
Btw - I’m not saying that I support the use of this, I am simply offering another side, after a little research
oh god that sh*t still exists?
pls this is bs from 2010’s tumblr let it die already
ive read a lot abt it in the past, as part of both the autistic community and the trans community and… while i get that some people may feel? like their autism can make their perception of gender different? bc gender is partly a social thing?
it’s so gross to conflate it into an autistic thing rather than into a personal thing? and it implies all autistic people would be that and ew
Yeah, exactly. I still hate the non autists that use it.
