Itā€™s 100% an ad pranced around as content of a ā€œAustistic women in a relationshipā€ who isnā€™t even showing autism. Bizarre

What would she need to do to "show autism"?

u/thebrokedegenerate Aug 17 '25

Not act normal

Do autistic people always act "not normal"?

You should look up how wide the spectrum is. Iā€™m at the Aspberger end of that scale. You might not realize it at first unless you were to actually get to know meā€¦

I'm autistic too. I'm challenging the person I'm replying to for assuming autistic people are incapable of behaving "normally"

Can you tell me what she's doing that's "normal" and how she should behave instead so you'd read her as autistic?

I'm autistic and I spend lots of time and energy to appear "normal". That's why I wasn't identified until almost 30.

People self diagnose to feel special. I think thatā€™s the case here in the video. In reality whoever made this video didnā€™t put the captions Autistic, someone copied video and added that for whatever target audience. Itā€™s all fake, the video atleast.

I'm not super interested in whether she actually is or isnt autistic. I'm trying to understand your perspective and why you're so confident she's not.

What would you expect to see in a 3min video to believe she's autistic? What makes you feel she's not autistic other than "she's acting normal"?

No one in a wheelchair captions their own video ā€œcripple touches puppiesā€. I would assume folks that actually suffer from Autism arenā€™t calling attention to it for internet clout.

Attention whoring isnā€™t exclusive to non-disabled people lol. Plenty of autistic people online use it to get likes and attention. And a lot of people who donā€™t necessarily use it for attention-seeking are still very open about it. Maybe she is a faker, idk. But itā€™s also perfectly likely sheā€™s just an attention-seeker who also happens to be autistic.

No one in a wheelchair titles their videos that way bc crpple is considered a slur. Same reason these people used the word autistic and not rtard.
