How would you feel if you know people who pretend to be autistic or neurodiverse yet make fun of autistics who are higher support needs?

submitted by gloomy_bear from self.AskSaidIt

I am low support needs with the exception of social communication, which is moderate support needs and there's people out there that think they're autistic when they're not and have made fun of high support needs autistics and have shit on myself and others who have or are moderate support needs. Irritates me. They think it's cute, quirky and try to be special when it's not! Tired of fakers and pretenders of everything tbh.

I'm autistic. I'm not sure if it's a disease and nobody else is either, but it probably is, with the sheer amount of complications it causes.

I say this to anyone faking it: Why?

Why would you fake this? Some kind of munchausen syndrome?

I don't feel encroached upon, like those pathetic minority groups who push "cultural appropriation" nonsense.

I just want to say to these people: can't you just try to MAKE yourself special in some way instead of pretending to have what is probably a disease?

Become great at schoolwork. Be a good sportsman. Be good at your trade. DO something. I don't like being lied to.

Yes it's munchies doing this. They refuse to believe they have BPD or a cluster b like C-PTSD so instead they pretend it's 'tism. These are the same assholes who made fun of me for my moderate social communication deficits. They also invade neurodiverse groups that are meant for intellectual disability, downs, autism and ADHD when what they have isn't neurodiverse as mental illness and personality disorders aren't neurodiverse (I don't care for that term). They all also have enablers and flying monkeys who enable this bullshit. Same asswipes pretend to be homosexual or call themselves gay when they don't even have an exclusive same sex attraction or even genuinely find the same sex attractive.

Same asswipes [who pretend to be queer] when they don't even have a same sex attraction

You mean bisexuals. Just say "bisexuals."

You missed out the part where I stated some of them aren't even same sex attracted. So lying bisexuals and lying heterosexuals.

Irrelevant. Everything that's not straight, is just 'gay' with pointless synonyms and buzzwords for snowflakes.

Many autistic people are just retarded enough to be IRL Lolcows, while also just functional enough to make fun of without feeling bad about it. They're retards you can mock guilt-free because of their generally shitty behavior, creepiness, and lack of social etiquette.

And "neurodivergent" is the latest made-up Zoomer horseshit to feel special about being a loser and blaming all their laziness and selfishness on "mental health" since they're too pathetic to actually get diagnosed with anything other than narcissism. It literally just means "I'm weird," but they use a fancy pseudo-medical-sounding term so they can expect people to take them more seriously when they need "mental health days" off work and a made-up mental illness to get out of responsibility.

So yeah, I imagine an autistic woman on social media probably came up with it. I'd name one if I actually cared about "influencers." The "fake" autistic people are just as retarded the diagnosed autistics. Everyone's "mentally ill" nowadays, even if some are high-functioning narcissists who can't use it as an excuse for being a fuck-up. Autists like Darksyde Phil and Pokimane are just as retarded as Chris-chan and Dylan Mulvaney. So what's there to "fake?"
