So this is silly for me lol. Normal is baseline. What is normal is basically what is most common. Autism is not common. Thus, autism is not normal, and pretending it is is weird for me.
I’ve seen one person react badly to this notion so I need to add I am not really aiming to make someone’s day worse here and I am not one to try and push that as at the end of the day it changes little…but also perceiving autism as personality seems harmful. You can change your personality. You have to work around autism.
But I can see hoe this may help people who feel burdened by it. I am opposite lol, idea I may have autism feel kinda liberating because it means I did best I could given my circumstances.
Don’t think of autism as a disease. It’s just your personality. The stigma on autism make people “diagnosed” with it think they’re weird.
The truth is: everyone is weird. It’s just there’s a bunch of weirdos trying to make you think you’re weird so they can pretend they’re “normal”.

The truth is, nobody is normal once you get to know them.
No.
