    Bro Autism is not a death sentence, geez. It’s simply a neurodivergency. The world would absolutely be worse off without the ASD community as part of it. And I’m not even speaking poetically here. As someone with hyperactive type ADHD, ASD peers can be an absolute relief to talk to.

    Neurotypical folks can be quite frustrating at times. Though they may not realize it, there’s a lot of indirect communication between NT folks. They tend to imply what they mean, rather than say what they mean directly. Quite frustrating. My anecdotal experience has led me to believe that the average ADHD or ASD person is a far more effective communicator.
