An autistic person who recently started exercising by choice has been cast out by their own people, according to reports.
Freya Emerson, 31, from Cheetham, made the shock decision to “take up jogging” three months ago in the hope that it would “really help with their meltdowns” – and has been subsequently cancelled by the autistic community.
“I haven’t felt autistic betrayal like this since The Good Doctor,” X User Sarah Harrow, 29, commented. “They’ve started wearing tight-fit lycra and adding protein powder to everything. Every week they keep bragging about their new ‘PB’, which I initially thought was another mental illness they’d been diagnosed with.”
“They may as well have joined a cult,’ X user Avery Mann said. “In fact, I’d have preferred it if they had.”
Emerson was unable to comment, as they were doing another lap of the park.
