>>29577978>that first post i see>"Koga is autistic, but wasn't diagnosed until later in life. The heightened sensory input actually helps him as a ninja, but stimming was quashed by his parents when he was a kid. Once he's older, he starts fiddling with his wedding band as a tactile stim">AUTISM MAKES YOU A NINJAjesus christ why do people who don't have autism not know how autism actually works? there's a reason it's called a spectrum, and just because "lol they have better senses" means they're autistic.
this frustrates me as an autistic person, because people want all this shit about representation with autism and shit when in reality I think everyone is a little bit autistic, and the main reason there shouldn't be autism representation is because there's no exact definition of it, so when some random character is autistic people will think autistics act like that and only that, but will not realize there are high functioning adult autistic people who are living good lives with great jobs who graduated as a Nuclear Engineer and is now working at NASA.fuck tumblr. They ruin autism just by saying certain characters who aren't autistic are autistic and then roll with it.
