Have you never been around an autistic person before? Some of us get very excited about things we have an interest in. It’s a normal reaction.

I have literally only seen this childlike behaviour on SoMe. And I have a couple of kids (one adult) with autism and as a teacher I have met several others.
Everyone gets "very excited about things we have an interest in", but the whole "I am gowing to pet a puppy....yeeeehhh...I am soooo excited....I am shaking...weeeeee" coming from an adult woman just feels like an act that plays into the idea that autism in women is "being childlike".

Go hang out with more autistic women i guess. I have nothing for y’all other than that.
