People claiming that their gender is Autism

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.

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.

Yes. It’s counterintuitive.

I think people think SJW’s are all Autistic. Well, they can’t all be.

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.


Sooooo…apparently it’s not bad.

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.
