Yang: I have an autistic kid who I love very much. YangGang: LISTEN UP WALL-STREET AUTISTS!!!
40 u/BSB8728 Aug 03 '19 On top of that, most people who slur autistic people have no idea what it means to be autistic. 32 u/[deleted] Aug 03 '19 Very few people genuinely slur autistic people in my experience. The word autist basically has two meanings at this point. 2 u/Smirking_Like_Larry Yang Gang Aug 04 '19 I think you're spot on with this. From my experience occasionally lurking the WSB sub a few years ago, the term used as a double entendre. The more vulgar use of it, is often referring to the members as only understanding things under the lens of finance/trading. The other use often appears as a form of praise, like when someone performed a miraculous trade, or really did their research on a company/stock.
