Please don’t use autistic as an insult.
- Fnoord 6y agoI do have an ASD diagnosis so that part was at least factual.
- tubularhells 6y agoBrave of you to admit. This community needs to come clean on this, we have so many outspoken, autistic individuals here whose input morphs others' views on what is normal and socially acceptable.
- Fnoord 6y agoShrug, honestly I see it as a strength and weakness. Different, not less. Therefore nothing to be ashamed of. In my work, we (employer, co-workers, myself) reap the benefits of my ASD, while we work around the weaknesses. The point that we are all governing in one way or another, like Greek Gods, still stands.
- tubularhells 6y agoI'm autistic, and I use the word factually. I know what I'm talking about.
