I had to sit through a 15 minute Zoom call yesterday for a colleague to come out...as autistic?
She explained how she thinks differently and some shit about autistic burnout, blah blah. Would have fully expected this from the Portland audience but this woman works in Tennessee.
Presents as fully normal as least as a colleague so it was fucking weird.
Later I saw another friend on my Instagram 'come out' wearing an 'I'm too autistic for this shit' shirt. Never does virtue signally shit. She would register as a bit different anywhere outside of Portland but is firmly normal for here.
Some trending shit on Twitter as well, #actuallyautistic. Looks like the autists are making their move.
