Just casually wachting a tv program about autism. Apparently talking too long about a subject you like, being perfectionistic or even feeling slightly awkward in social situations makes you autistic. What the fuck is this shit, Sup Forums? Following this logic, 1 in 4 people are autistic. I think not.
The presenter has autism too, apparently. A lot of the things he says applies to me. Like the fact that he'd rather do tasks alone, or that he absolutely fucking hates it when children start saying everything in screams when they reach a certain age. All this shit is relatable, but labelling it autism is beyond ridiculous.
I genuinely believe this is just a set of personality traits someone can have. I have some of these traits but I'm not socially inept like actual autists. I like having small talk besides the fact that I worry too much about what I say.
Anyone else ever diagnosed themselves with severe life threathening autism just from watching a cheap production tv program?
