I don't know ANYONE like that and I know tons of autistic people. But hey keep telling yourself we wanna take over the world or some shit.

I'm just tired of being seen as an object of mockery or a tragedy I just want to be seen as a fucking person.

I was talking about unrealistic expectations of media representation, not people in RL.

Being seen as 'a person' is one thing. But the number of hotly-claimed fictional reps who are all the things I named - or else historical famous people - is a bit embarrassing. As if being 'just folks' isn't enough.

I'll give you Isaac Newton, though.

Oh yeah that's just the media doing its thing.

I honestly don't care about which historical figures might be thought to have any form of autism and I even sort of roll my eyes when people tell me "oh so-and so brilliant philosopher might have had that, you know".

I mean maybe that would have made me feel good in middle school but usually when I headcanon a character like Luna Lovegood as autistic its because they share struggles and things to overcome. When they're the kid getting hard candy and paper balls thrown at them. So i get kind of annoyed when people act like headcanoning characters is shallow or all about their fame or whatever.
