Conversely, you telling other people around you that you are autistic, and them ignoring this or pulling other diagnoses out of their asses.

You would think this would be as direct as you could possibly be, but nope, in reality, its subtle, because everyone else has their own explanation, and their own understanding of what autism is / how it presents, so what you actually have to do is read their fucking mind and then act a bit more like their idea of autism, and then they’ll agree with you.

By which I of course mean they agree with themselves and you just cooperate with that.
