To be fair to our autistic women and enby comrades, Its pretty much always been autistic men, but still.
You have no idea how many times I've been like "hey dont say that, thats ableism/a slur" and them be like "get over it/grow a spine/just words" and when I confront them about the fact that i'm autistic they'll say "I am too, so what?".
Just look at my post history right now. There's one I'm arguing with right now.
it happens over and over.
I hope I didn't seem demeaning in my last interaction with you where I was talking about cooking. It was meant as a "vote of confidence, you can do this" expression.
I took it wrong at first but I appreciated it after you clarified. Thank you.
I think it was in a thread where someone used the r-slur and then defended the usage.
I don't have any doubts he was an autistic dude
