@jeffcliff@actuallyautistic@Gtmlosangeles "Now that I understand what autism is, I do not care whether I meet the criteria for ASD."
Weird. Like, you define yourself as autist, and, in the same sentence, you affirm you don't care about the definition of autism (or ASD if you find it more suitable) 🤔. But autism isn't an experience restricted to you, so autists are a group sharing similarities that, taken together, define ASD. You just can't throw them away and then affirm you're autist.
