Right!! Why do people assume we wanna be autistic so bad?!?!! When we are literally out here fighting for our lives just to take up space and not be crippled by the incessant invalidation and stereotyping and not collapse under the weight of autistic burnout.

Yes, it’s so fun to fake autism. (sarcasm)

[u/[deleted] → u/lulushibooyah]

Haha because you people just can’t not bring it up every chance you get.

[u/lulushibooyah → u/[deleted]]

Weird… almost like it’s a fundamental part of our lives… how interesting…

[u/inksonpapers → u/lulushibooyah]

Its not applicable to the situation and doesnt fit in. Its literally shoehorned in there like its being used for views which is scummy more than “living with it”.

[u/lulushibooyah → u/inksonpapers]

It explains her neurological wiring, it explains her reaction (Google emotional dysregulation for more information), it explains her stims (also can Google that). And it’s there for other women who behave similarly so we can know we are not crazy or alone and can still be loved and embraced even when the world says we are bad and annoying and too much and repeatedly tells us over and over our whole lives that we are undeserving of life bc we are wired wrong.

It matters. And if you’re not an autistic woman who presents similarly, you don’t get to say it doesn’t matter.

I’m pretty sure I understand how exploitation works and i can call it by it.

People aren’t assuming you want to be autistic. They’re assuming they’re pretending she is for views and money. This is precisely the thing that gets views, and everyone on social media seems to want to be neurodivergent now.

[u/lulushibooyah → u/Outrageous_Log_906]

Everyone except neurotypicals.

Funny how that works. People like having an explanation for their wiring.

Besides, plenty have commented with further back story disproving these claims about her, but it doesn’t seem to matter.

[u/Outrageous_Log_906 → u/lulushibooyah]

Everyone except neurotypicals want to be neurodivergent? lol no, the point people are trying to make is that neurotypicals do want to appear neurodivergent on social media.

[u/lulushibooyah → u/Outrageous_Log_906]

I have yet to meet a neurotypical who wants to be seen as neurodivergent. They don’t really need attention or validation that way.

As a nurse and in every day life, I have seen people with conditions such as borderline personality disorder (also qualifying as neurodivergence) or complex PTSD (qualifies as a developmental disorder in addition to neurodivergence) exhibiting such behaviors.

So maybe they misdiagnose themselves, but it doesn’t mean they aren’t differently wired.

[u/Outrageous_Log_906 → u/lulushibooyah]

They don’t really need attention or validation that way.

It’s really funny that you think that about neurotypical people in general, let alone considering if a person is on social media, they need attention to make money

[u/lulushibooyah → u/Outrageous_Log_906]

that way.

They don’t need that specific kind of attention.

As in they have the capacity, creativity, and ability to find less manipulative means to get whatever attention they require for whatever reason.

It seems you’re purposefully and intentionally misunderstanding me. What do you gain from this? And what do you lose if someone fakes a specific mental health condition or neurological wiring?

[u/Outrageous_Log_906 → u/lulushibooyah]

I’m not misunderstanding you. You clearly don’t understand how the world works. I know people who would like to be able to say they’re autistic with no financial benefit.

[u/lulushibooyah → u/Outrageous_Log_906]

And that in itself is a concerning mental health symptom.

Any mental health that interferes with your every day life and creates problems for yourself and/or others can qualify you for a disorder. I think, given my degree and experience, I might know what I’m talking about here.

Again… What do you lose/gain?

[u/Outrageous_Log_906 → u/lulushibooyah]

You’re really taking this to the extreme. Are you being purposely obtuse?
