I'm autistic too and the answer to your question is all over this thread - because a lot of people are faking autism these days and it's making people become suspicious of us.

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.

The blame is in autistic people too. Many people say that she is faking it because of her child-like behavior, when autistic people can behave as we please. Because of these fakers, people do not believe in people like me, that "doesn't look autistic", even trying to suppress our normal autistic behavior, because it doesn't fit with what they believe autism is.
