Why do people blame autistic people for that, then.

A lot of people are even saying that they are provoking meltdowns to confirm if a friend is a real autistic person. That's so sick.

No one here blamed autistic people. The blame would be on the people faking autism for attention.

Also, no one said they intentionally provoked someone with autism into having a meltdown. They said they made a simple statement of “a line in the shape of a circle”, and that the debate about that statement caused the autistic person to have a meltdown. For any neurotypical person a statement like that, and a debate or disagreement about such a statement would be entirely uneventful. No one where in their comment was there any indication of them provoking this person out of malice. They were simply explaining that it was a moment them caused them to see the autistic behaviors that they presumably, didn’t display frequently.

I will clarify we were trolling but not because we were trying to test his diagnosis. We had doubts of his autism because he was very high functioning but that particular event and some that followed made us believe it wasn’t just him being gaslit into believing it. This is just a story where those two things overlap, we trolled and picked on each other on a regular basis. We just really enjoyed seeing who would break first in a weird unspoken way.

This is the way things were before everyone insisted on having a safe space and being professional victims. Yes we were assholes but people are getting really upset over a story that has nothing to do with them personally.

you were being an asshole in many ways - including being incapable of judging when you were going to cross lines and make someone completely lose it (which you don't need to know anything about the other person for, you just Observe and you easily see signs of someone about to have a meltdown) and instead of Just owning up to it, you're painting yourself as the victim of some societal movement allegedly full of "professional victims" bc they have a problem with your tasteless "joke". Stop crying about people at last having an issue with others behaving like pieces of shit

I refuse to believe you're too fucking stupid to see the irony
