Has it gotten to the point where "autism" is viewed as an insult
Seen a post addressing this but holy shit its actually so normalized and its concerning. For context I cant communicate well with others. I dont rlly understand certain humors from each other. My interests are also different from others eg. I like playing parkour in roblox. During covid in my online lessons I open another tab and play during my entire lesson. Even to this day I still watch videos on parkour and yes even personal recordings that I recorded bc I find it extremely entertaining. But some ppl walk past and called me "weird" for liking smt else which I'm not offended by it its just, is there a problem for me to like smt that u find "corny"?
When it comes to communication I dont rlly understand certain humor bc of family backgrounds so I often talk to others from personal experience but omg its genuinely disgusting when they called me "autistic" bc I wanna get along with them but in a different way. Like yeah I understand if how I try to get along with others might not be comfortable with but u do not throw that word around rashly especially if ur using it as an insult without understanding it.
Why is it actually so normalized to just use this word randomly and call ppl it bc u find them annoying or irritating. This word is not a word to insult. This is not a word to laugh at ppl with it. I know what im saying bc I have a twin brother who has autism. I can understand if u dont understand the word but using it as an insult crosses the line completely. Plus its genuinely a weak ass insult having to bring up ppl who is actually mentally challenged to win an argument.
This actually shows how low-minded and pathetic ppl are who use this word to bully rather than actually understanding it. Even my friends can come up with better insults without having to bring up autism. Be grateful u do not have it and dont laugh at others who have it or insult others just bc they r annoying.
