Neurotypicals have helpfully decided that everything they dislike must be “on the spectrum,” it has been announced.
Neurotypicals said: “That guy being a bit of a tosser? Probably on the spectrum.”
“Nazis? Definitely on the spectrum,” they continued.
“That mass murderer?” They added. “Seems pretty spectrummy to me.”
Autistic people said: “That’s not what being autistic means. We’re actually much more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators.”
Neurotypicals responded: “Don’t listen to them – they don’t look like they’re even on the spectrum.”
