I think her issue is not that she hates autistic people but she hates the diagnosis, it's a very huge difference between it. It's more related to having issues with labelling people because they are different, and giving them a label which largely affect how they can live their lives. People with autism is often, regardless of "degree", treated like they are incapable of deciding anything in their own lives. They are incapacitated, someone, possibly someone who has never even met them, end up with control over their lives, what kind of jobs they can have, what kind of lives they can have.
Doesn't having a diagnosis help a lot of ppl too tho h, I think the autism shit was that she was uhhh not respectful abt it n it definately didn't seem like the only reason she was against it was cus nazis(??) Made the diagnosis plus she was like iddk, from what I remember "has anyone even been diagnosed with autism on vp" n disrespectful stuff to actual autistic ppl so idk, mby she didn't mean it liek that but it certainly didn't come out nice so its very understandable if it got consequences
It helps a lot of people, but if they're wrongly diagnosed for example (which sadly happens) their lives are possibly permanently suffering from it. For instance, I have a cousin who was diagnosed as mentally retarded (pretty much what the diagnosis was tbh) during the time period in Norway when they used a kind of test/sheet thing which resulted in a lot of false positives, they don't even know the full extent of it. With the diagnosis she has, which is incorrect I might add, the Norwegian state
can and will likely interfere with her life if she gets pregnant, either by forced abortion (no joke) or forced adoption. Only because they meant that she was too slow to learn things and that the only explanation was that she was retarded (spoiler: she couldn't see until 4th grade and no one noticed it).
they thought i had ADD in first grade but it was just that my eyes were fucked up and couldnt track properly
