Why so widespread you have any theory?
yes
autism until like 20 years ago was viewed as extremely rare
maybe it was just extremely rare because less vaccine damage or some shit idk
most students at universities were told they would probably never see an autistic person IRL in their praxis
people that had autism were expected to be extremely fucked up, like wearing a helmet and screaming level
these people were treated with horrible therapies that involved electro shocking them and training them like dogs
in fact, in the 50s and 60s, mentally disabled people were actually called "trainables"
As autism became more prevalent and more and more milder versions of it popped up (aspergers, high functioning autism etc...)
People started speaking up and politicizing the topic.
Especially foids and the left jumped on the bandwagon.
They started claiming the name aspergers is nazi because hans asperger who its named after was nazi or something
they started saying if you say autism is a disease, you are basically saying autistic people should be killed etc.
so they basically dont allow any discussion of physical issues anymore, even though there is huge body supporting physical issues correlated with autism. And then they went even further and said its not even a mental disorder, just "a different way of thinking" and shit
if you go on yt, its mostly foids that larp they have it while having perfectly functional lifes
in my experience, its these type of people that dominate online discussion. They dont even suffer under their supposed condition, but they aggressively police discussion by more affected people
like when someone on r/aspergers goes "my body is shit and i hate my life fuck this disease" he instantly has multiple people gaslighting and shitting on him in replies. When you go on these peoples profiles, they literally say they have successful lives, dont even mind their autism, and so on. So why are you policing people that suffer from it?
Imagine someone had cancer but it doesnt have any impact on their life.
But then they go into cancer ward and go like HA HA YOU FUCKERS WHY SO SAD?!?!? GET SOME THERAPY?!? ALLEJUP - kicks them out of hospital
so yeah, thats why imo nobody wants to talk about the physical issues involved and shit
