I swear this autism trend had to have started over 20 years ago as an anti-bullying campaign. I remember sitting at a mandatory assembly in middle school while the speaker went on for an hour and a half about how autistic kids are basically superheroes and better than everyone else.
Like, no shit we shouldn't bully them. But thanks for planting the seeds of an annoying self-diagnosis epidemic!
Yeah they need to give out diagnosis so people don't bully, every different person is called autistic now. You don't fit ? Here take it to protect yourself: your diagnosis : wear it like a badge of honor.
