    Let’s not idealise autistic people, it’s borderline fetishising with a touch of aspie supremacy. My autistic father has a soul of a feral dog pack when he doesn’t run them over on purpose.

      I do not vibe with this comment at all but i will upvote because the falacy of aspie supremacy is a serious topic we ought to have at some point when more of us are free from oppressive social stigma and hurtful norms.

        I love humour so much that it pains me when it’s used to misinform. Maybe it’s an accumulated grudge because I see how some of my friends share memes that are very relatable but are insidiously misleading in a way that either strokes ego or benefits capital in some way.

        I genuinely think autistic people are „better” at things I care about but it doesn’t make them inherently ethical.

          Hm, I’m not sure Golden Retrievers are inherently ethical either. I do think ASD peeps have less filters and therefore tend to be more “pure” in their displayed personalities, if that makes sense.

            I’m pretty sure golden retrievers were used to evoke certain emotions - they’re innocent (like every dog), lovable goofs.

            I’d like some people to develop filters because some use it as an excuse. See Musk and that type of aspies.
