People when autistic boys have mental shutdowns: haha it’s so quirky when he hyperfixates.
People when autistic girls have mental shutdowns: what a bitchy and emotional teenager. She’s not even autistic she just does it for attention.

Autistic boys sometimes get called quaint. Other times people call the police and they get shot.

“Mmmmm, yes, let’s turn a funny post about autistic hyperfixations into gender warfare. This will be a good use of everyone’s time.”

Dude this is about tye gendered double standard in mental illness.
It is a thing, and for autistic women it hurts that we don’t have funny stories about our trauma like this and it sucks.
The reaction to autistic men (here) is perfectly reasonable. We want that. Fuck off with your misogynist bullshit.
