Comment on I just learned 37% of Americans fear vaccinating their dog will cause the dog to develop autism. 😐

  What, how? They are very loving and emotional. The autistic people ive met are very intellectual and not very emotional… Very much living in their heads. But I have only met like… 3…or something. :)

    Just cause we don’t show it outwardly as often, doesn’t mean we autists aren’t very emotional. I think more so than most non autistic people. Remember it is a spectrum. For example I’m like gigantic and fairly well built (think Jason Witten but shaved head) and I’ll surprise (scare) some dates because I’m not afraid to cry on occasion. But it also may be my upbringing more than my diagnosis.

    We’re generally not “not very emotional” we just show it differently and less. But it could seem so if you can’t decipher the differentness.
