Usually because they only include the cutesy and quirky stuff but ignore how hard it is to actually BE autistic

A strange side note

[feotakahari]

I finally have insight into why the Steven Universe fandom's autistic headcanons are relatively tolerable. One of the characters who gets headcanoned as such is unable or unwilling to speak to anyone besides his mother, and the other has massive psychological issues that have negatively impacted other characters. Even when they're read in "cute" ways, that doesn't overshadow their other problems.

Yeah. And I once saw a person explain her austistic headcanon with "[character] reminds me a little of my cousin who has aspergers, so [character] probably has autism."

So, yeah, she just reduced her cousin and all his personality traits to "austism" and assumed that anyone who's similar to him in any must be austistic. Woooooow.

Not to mention this was a character who had very specific canon socially-conditioned and life-experience reasons (i.e., his very screwed-up upbringing) for certain behavioral traits like being obsessed with a certain thing, being unwilling to interact socially, not really understanding how normal people behave and show emotion.

And canonically, it's a BIG DEAL that it's his issues surrounding his upbringing, and not anything inherent, that makes it so hard for him to just relax and be normal instead of rigidly forcing himself into a way of behaving that makes him miserable. In fact, his whole character arc is about letting go of the past and of the habits he's formed and letting himself be normal. Making the reason for those behaviors "oh, autism!" kind of ruins his whole arc because it's obviously really unfair and problematic to say someone with autism needs to "let go of his behavioral habits and become normal."
