A woman who has no idea what’s going on in the world believes you’re pretending to be autistic for the street cred, it has been discovered.
Tricia Squire, 63, from Florida, thinks young people are diagnosing themselves for the instant popularity she believes autism commands – and insists there are no downsides that she can see.
Squire explained: “No, it makes sense, because autism is a notoriously social disease. There are gangs of feral autistics roaming the streets in giant ear defenders, looking for new recruits. Of course kids are tempted to sign up.”
“They’re out at all hours, shooting up vaccines, instead of catching measles and drinking bleach like normal children.”
“I don’t know who this ‘RFK Jr.’ is,” continued Squire. “But from the sounds of it, he’s keeping lists of people with autism so he can give them free trips to lovely health farms. Just another one of their VIP perks.”
“Anyway, we’re all a bit autistic,” Squire concluded, before her statement was taken at face value and she was dragged away.
