is it me or the word autism is mad cringe

[lookingforadvicecel]

its just so cringe to say that word for me i hesitate to say it most of the time

it just reminds me of virtue signaling as if autists are even considered part of the human species

 

[Prøphet]

I hate the word too I have a visceral reaction of disgust to it

Even more cringe to actually be autistic in the big '26

It’s a man made label

 

[Datto29]

autism sounds like someone has down syndrome

It's cringe because autists are easily distinguishable from nt people, most of the so called autists are simply people with poor social skills.
