There's so much wrong with "everyone is a little bit autistic"

Yes, allistic people might know a lot of facts about the things they like. Yes, allistic people might get a bit overwhelmed or underwhelmed sometimes. Yes, allistic people might not get an expression sometimes, mostly if it's the first time they hear it.

That doesn't make them autistic.

Those traits only make someone autistic when they become disabling. Because, big shock, autism is a disability. Yeah, even if someone is low support needs, because that doesn't mean they don't need any support at all.

Saying "everyone is a little bit autistic" is like saying "everyone struggles with this, so suck it up, you have no right to need help". Which is just pure ableist bullshit. It denies the fact that autistic people have higher support needs than NTs, no matter where in the autistic spectrum they are. We're not "neurospicy", we're disabled, and denying this fact is denying us the right to get the help we need, we deserve, to have a good life.

(yes, this rant is just because I made the awful decision of listening to "neurospicy (interlude)" by Jax. honestly I'd rather be called a slur than listen to that shit again.)

; really funny but I js saw a post talking ab smth and it mentioned at one point " and since it's August tmr- " and I had to pause because like. My brain died and it's headstone was js: SOMETHING IMPORTANT HAPPENS IN AUGUST WHAT IS IT FUCK FUCK FUCK FUC- oh my birthday, right. OH FUCK MY BIRTHDAY IS IN AUGUST FUCK FUCK FUCK so yh happy early birthday to me yay

; " a newly discovered sea creatu- " WRONG. That is a mythical and horrifying thing that I made up when I was 7. You can't fool me. /s
