You read: "I have not and will never ever believe anybody on the internet who says they have autism." as: "The people I've met have used autism as an excuse, but I still believe it exists"?

Interesting.

Key words: "On the internet" and "Who says they have"

I'll admit, this is probably colored by own experiences a bit, but people don't tend to bring up autism unless there's a reason to bring it up - and in fandom that's usually 'You can't blame me! I have autism so I didn't know it was wrong to do it!' Plus 'I don't believe people who say it on the internet' =/= 'I don't believe it anywhere, ever!'

DA

Thank you. I tend to be skeptical of anybody who offers that much unwarranted TMI to complete strangers, and not just in regards to autism. Anybody who pulls the "I have XYZ Disorder, stop calling me out on my shit!" card gets the side-eye from me, no matter what XYZ Disorder is.

Here's the thing, yeah people use autism (and other diagnosi) as an excuse. But did it ever occur to you that people with certain types of autism might be bringing up in seemingly random places where there was no reason to bring it up, might be doing so because they have some type of problem where they don't recognize or understand "proper" social interaction? Like, say, autism?

This is exactly the same thing as dudes in gaming saying they won't believe you're a girl until you show your tits because hey, no girls on the internet or hey, all "girls" I've talked to have really just guys using that as a ploy to get free shit from guys.

I mean this person in OPs story sounds like a jerk, but to extrapolate from that to say they'll never believer anyone ever who says they have autism? That's just dumb.

Doesn't negate the fact that every person I have ever seen to offer up this information had a case of Special Snowflake Syndrome to go along with their self-diagnosed autism. Which is why I tend to side-eye and avoid people who just offer up that info from the start. If that's the most important thing you have to tell me about yourself, I'd rather steer clear of you.
