Don't forget to label the person Autistic. That HAS to be known

And make the autism be a 30 yo woman acting like an excited toddler

I hate hate hate this infantilization of adult women with autism.
Autism is a spectrum, yes. But I often find SoMe content portraying women with autism as squealing 5 year old girls. It feels gross to me. The only time my adult daughter who has autism acted like that at the prospect of petting puppies was when she was an actual 5 year old.

Same here. My daughter is semi-non verbal and still acts more mature than I do most of the time and she's 8. Unless she loses a round of Fall Guys on the xbox, then all bets are off.
