A non-autistic woman trying to ask you about “your autism” has already fucked it by calling it “your autism”, sources have stated. 

Karen Hoyland, 42, doesn’t want to pry into your “condition” but also very much does want to pry – and if she can make you feel like a dangerous weirdo in the process, that’s just a bonus.

Hoyland said: “So where do you think you caught the disease from? A vaccine? Or your traumatic childhood? Did your mum eat a lot of dairy while she was pregnant with you?”

“What kind of autism do you have?” She continued. “The slightly quirky kind or the life-isn’t-worth-living kind?“

She added: “If you think about it – which I have, for 30 whole seconds – aren’t we all a bit on the spectrum somewhere? In which case, do we even need the label at all? Just something to consider.”

“Anyway,” Hoyland concluded. “Get well soon.”
