Speaking as somebody who is autistic (diagnosed with Asperger’s as a kid), autism is a spectrum, it’s not a blanket statement that autism is a serious mental disorder that “hinders average behaviour”. This implies that you think autistic people are “not normal” and they can’t do things that “normal” people can.

Yes, there are many cases of autistic children being nonverbal and having severe learning difficulties, and more care should be directed to assist them in their education. More attention should be directed at supporting them rather than big greedy corporations and the military. But it’s not okay to put down others simply because they are autistic.

Especially considering this account is minutes old and has already made lots of relatively low effort posts, I don’t think this has good intentions.

But of note, I do think the people who say things like “Autism moment haha” are not always in the right either, but this depends on context. It’s something like how people say a joke is only funny if everybody is laughing, if you’re the only one who thinks it is appropriate, it probably isn’t.
