My autistic friend said "everyone has autism these days"...
This was a few weeks ago now but it still irritates me, most likely because I came up with a valid counter point days later 🤦
I completely get where she's coming from in terms of it makes her diagnosis feel less valid, etc..
But she doesn't work and therefore has less exposure to the general public. And I think when you're in a working environment, when not only do you get exposure but you also get the know people and see how differently they're able to run their lives in comparison to you, you realise just how different you really are.. and suddenly this "everyone" she is talking about doesn't exist.
