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.
