  • I don’t get it. How could having autism or whatever be “hip”? Surely it’s undesirable for most, because it tends to ostracize them, no?

    At least as far as ive seen, people aren’t labelling them autistic to influence the way they are treated by the world- they are claiming the label because they see it as an explanation for previously unexplained anomalies in how the world treats them. It’s used as a flag to build community around those with shared experiences, not a doctor’s note to get out of gym class.
