Speaking as someone who's on the spectrum, just because one is autistic doesn't automatically make them toxic - nor does being toxic automatically make one autistic. This is a really disingenuous and harmful stereotype of people on the spectrum. Autism affects more than just social functioning, and a great number of us, myself included, have no problems behaving in a positive and supportive fashion.

This is a really disingenuous and harmful stereotype of people on the spectrum. You should note that I did not say either of those things, nor do I believe them.
