Only ranting on this particular space because it’s surprisingly not as bad as others. But many autistic spaces, I feel, are turning into weird, “morally superior” echo chambers… I saw a video saying that most NT people make friends for ulterior motives… like yeah, maybe a lot do… but a lot also just enjoy human connection… It’s so much of people acting like autistic people are the only ones that are real and genuine, and treating everyone else like calculating supervillains.

I’m not even trying to jump at the defense of neurotypical people, I just think this mindset is unhealthy. We are not superior because of our autism. We can do bad things. We can have ulterior motives. We’re human beings with nuance… We’re not susceptible from doing questionable things just because we don’t understand social norms as well as most people. And non-autistic people can also have a soul, believe it or not. Crazy concept, I know.
