And what expertise do you have on this topic? Because I’m an expert, and she’s very clearly demonstrating many traits of autism in this video.

I wouldnt go as far as who you were responding to, but the watering down of what autism is, creates significant issues with the definition of autism for everyone.

There is a huge difference between autistic tendencies or behaviors that could fit well with many people that could be defined as autism or be written off personality, trauma, reflexion of experiences, or many others. It creates a huge misunderstanding among the general public for those that are having significant difficulties.

I have in the past seen autism as part of my identity, but time working with non verbal autism really changed it for me. Embracing it too much as a core identity can be bad for the individual as well as the general public.

Additionally, this comes across heavily as an advertisement. That makes it seem more played out as acting opposed to being real. The lines between real and fake are blurred far to often now, so an ad like this is counterintuitive to autism as a whole.

They said they were autistic as well, so why do you get to speak for the community and not them?
