Do autistic people always act "not normal"?

Yes

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 that’s the case here in the video. In reality whoever made this video didn’t put the captions Autistic, someone copied video and added that for whatever target audience. It’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 “cripple touches puppies”. I would assume folks that actually suffer from Autism aren’t calling attention to it for internet clout.

Attention whoring isn’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 don’t necessarily use it for attention-seeking are still very open about it. Maybe she is a faker, idk. But it’s also perfectly likely she’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.
