I'm so tired.
When did it basically become "having an interest in something is autistic"?
Go to train museums or like trains? Must be autistic.
Put a song on repeat? Must be autistic.
Are you a birdwatcher? Must be autistic.
Did you dream about something you enjoy? Must be autistic.
Having a hobby, favorite song, or good dreams doesn't make someone autistic. A person can be autistic and also do these things, but doing these things doesn't make them autistic.
We went from people avoiding labels because they didn’t want to be reduced, to people desperately grabbing for labels because they want to belong to something.
