Not quite. Offer them change and many will vote for you. It’s the reverse of the Bernie-Trump pipeline.

It’s a little bit of columb A, a little bit of column B. Nothing about having to stim or occasionally going nonverbalhas anything to do with the bullshit script. And, while I also hate the bullshit script, it’s unfortunately here to stay. Humans are social animals, so being less able to interact with society at large isn’t a fake problem. If anything it’s not unlike being unable to fluently speak your native language, which is quite obviously a problem. Of course society as a whole should accommodate people with autism, but that’s a solution to a problem that very much exists.

I mean autism is an inherently bad thing in that it’s basically just raising the difficulty of life across the board, and that’s for high-functioning autism. Low-functioning autism is its own beast. There are aspects to autism that would make someone think “oh no this could happen to my child?!”. Still better than the imagined alternative obviously.
