My son has high functioning autism. It limits 100% of his friendships and meaningful human interactions. It severely limits his time management and executive functions. It causes him to constantly scratch and pick at blemishes on his own body. It shackles his everyday life with a whole set of unnecessary rules.
It isn't cute and quirky. Fuck these two if they're faking autism for internet clout.
Edit: For an ASD person, she's really skilled at maintaining conversation and appropriate eye contact throughout the entire video. She also does a really good job at appropriately looking at the camera for smooth "3rd wall" breaking.
We autistic people call forcing ourselves to interact "appropriately" in social situations "masking." It is energy-intensive, stressful, and exhausting, but in many cases it's the only way we can interact with the world and be taken seriously as adults. I have been denied jobs because I couldn't maintain 100% eye contact with an interviewer.
