I agree that headacanoning everyone who MAYBE COULD BE as autistic as autistic is overdoing it. This is coming from an autistic person.

I'd like to see some more non-stereotypical representation but I'm still very careful about headcanoning characters as that. So far I only have a few serious ones. A big one being Lilo from Lilo and Stitch because she just fits all the symptoms PERFECTLY. But other than that Idk....representation is good and important and all...and headcanoning people as being part of group is well and good if they fit. But projecting it on to EVERYONE is overdoing it and sorta cheapens it in a way.

If that all makes sense...

No, I totally agree with this.

Especially seeing as people oversimplify and use outdated stereotypes as their reasoning.

Yeah. A lot of people tend to assume autistic people are good at math for example or are just like savants.

Stereotypes like that ignore that some autistic people are better in other areas or don't have a'genius IQ' or are mild enough to be able to take care of themselves and live a fairly normal life.

You're right; the lecture was on autism tropes in media, not autism in real life.

Ahh I see

It was a discussion on autism tropes in media, and I made sure to not assign diagnoses to any characters. I think that idiot was either trying to get attention or trying to get himself expelled. Because the way he was acting was really rude and the class ended up going over because we spent so much time getting him to shut up.
