It seems pretty wild how many things people are describing as autism lately. I know people who use the word all the time and I know they definitely aren't diagnosed with it or anything. it's just fuckin weird now. It's gone from a genuine medical diagnosis to "see how unique i am."

I don't think people here would do it, but please tell people to stop using it as an adjective. It's awkward as fuck at best, especially if you said it around someone who has or knows someone with severe autism.
