RageFuel Why do they always show autistic people as being drooling mentally retarded?

Every autism thing I watch on youtube or on the news, the person is clearly mentally retarded, and they just so happen to also be diagnosed with autism as well, but these are the autistic people that get all the spot light and everyone thinks thats the norm. So people think autism = drooling downsyndrome mentally retarded.

99.9% of autistic people are screeching mentally retarded autists, but it's what every normie thinks an autistic person is.

99.9% of autistic people are confused for losers & social outcasts (because they are, but they don't know its the autism causing them to be social outcasts, because theres no obvious mentally retarded signs)

It's all about the ratings baby. Autism is a buzz word, the media uses it for ratings, the moms whose sons are high tier normies with hundreds of friends but have that 1 little quirk use it to brag to their friends about how special and courageous their son is.

Basically people are selfish pieces of shit who don't care about issues and help but only about what they can get from it.

The average autistic guy just looks like your typical depressed person with a aloof demeanor, not someone with literal mentally retarded problems like down-syndrome, or the type of mental retardation where the person is smashing walls and running into traffic.

NT controls game so it tries to impost its shity rules.

I'm not even sure what autism is anymore
high-functioning autists and low-functioning autists don't seem to share the same illness: the former are literally guys with peculiar interests who are kinda bad at socialising and the other are literal Down-syndrome-tier drooling human vegetables

It's just as aggravating when the autist is shown to be a quirky genius. Newsflash, media: Savants are almost as rare among autists than among NT people. I say almost because high-functioning autists tend to have above average IQ, but not by much.

Case in point, Predator 2018. The kid with autism has eidetic memory, which is rare as fuck. And they say in the movie that autism could be the next stage in human evolution, which is so unbelievably retarded it speaks volumes about the script writers.
