This.

I think AYRT is operating on a kind of visibility bias. Certain autistic traits and behaviors are going to be more overt, visible, and recognizable than others, so of course those are the traits that get noted and associated with "real autism." Until some people start to make the assumption that if those traits and behaviors aren't exhibited, the person must not really have autism, because all the people who actually do have autism but don't exhibit those visible, recognizable traits and behaviors have always flown under their radar and thus, in their mind, don't exist.

Yeah, I have met people who, in retrospect, I think are autistic but masking effectively. Based on other things I know about them. I have OCD and mask pretty well.

But I agree that diagnosing real people and posting publicly about that is wack.

Characters, headcanon what you want.

AYRT - Oh, yeah, absolutely, I totally agree about that! I kind of forgot about how this sub-thread fit into the broader conversations and forgot to specify that while I disagree with anon's "spicy take" I do actually completely agree with the secret itself.
