Or maybe me, an actual autistic person, is just tired of "autism headcanons" being all about the cutesy, quirky characteristics and none of the things that are frustrating to deal with. These (almost 90% neurotypical) people latch onto any quirky character because autism is the current mental illness trend, like bipolar and depression and PTSD were before.

No one's allowed to just be different, they have to be on the spectrum because no one's different like that just because they are.

I had the cutesy ones. I just like seeing the ones that actually portray the struggle and when I find a good one its worth scrolling past all the bad ones.

I don't like the bad ones but I live to see the good ones. And for all the people "attaching labels" I also see just as many people reacting with hostility at seeing someone interpret their faves as being "retarded".

I'm the same person who's argued with someone on tumblr about considering the actual symptoms before diagnosing not because I wanted people to stop but I wanted people to be informed about it.

Then I'm gonna be blunt but Luna really doesn't come across as autistic when you actually consider her background, just quirky and she's made fun of for looking at the world in a different way because her dad raised her like that.

So don't make this into stereotypes bullshit when it's not with this specific character.

"stereotypes bullshit"

I was going by stuff that's actually on the diagnostic criteria like being blunt and honest to a degree that's insensitive and not being in tune socially about the right thing to say. But hey if you wanna dismiss actual symptoms as stereotypes..

I will say that this is definitely up to interpretation. You're interpretation is as valid as mine. But I think its unfair to dismiss people's reasoning for this headcanon, as well as the fact that lots of people feel like there isn't much concrete positive portrayal to be had so they make their own. Not everyone who makes this headcanon is going off stereotypes.

Of course this doesn't mean you have to like it. but misrepresenting your opposition isn't really fair.
