It’s not their fault. The autistic people saying this. There’s been some semantic shift and IDK if we’re talking about non-autistic people saying this or autistic people. But. Like. The ones tutuu referenced and the ones I’m talking about. They’re not magically some other kind of autistic that makes them not struggle. They have also struggled. Maybe in different ways, maybe “less” (I don’t really think comparison is very meaningful here), but they’re still talking about the same thing.
It’s cope. People have been marginalised by society and told something that’s inseparable from their entire, like, personhood is wrong and different and a disease. Even the objectively completely harmless things! I don’t blame people for coping after that. I’m not going to transpose any of the harm people at large have done to me by telling me I’m built incorrect, or the harm having a brain which sometimes acts in maladaptive ways, onto somebody who’s just… finding the good in something other people have been cruel to them over. It’s not their damn fault. They’re not the ones doing invalidating.

this is YOUR FAULT kana you have made me remember this whenever someone says “its not [] fault”
i dont mind autistic people saying it albeit i still probably wont. interact with it willingly
i think the winner of this conversation depends on if we think tutuu is autistic or not. discuss

yeah ok fair that’s true
it has just occured to me that my dad is right behind me
Even if you look at autism as something purely negative, there are also a lot of people out there who say “I’m glad I’m physically disabled because it gives me a better outlook on the world”, “I’m glad I went through X hardship and trauma because it made me stronger”. Do I think they’re broadly correct? No I think they’re coping. But, like, there is no life other than the one lived, it’s not like they’ll ever actually get the opportunity to press a button and go to a world where they never suffered, so it’s not ever going to be a problem that they have this outlook. And they went through something very hard. Who am I to judge them for how they cope
i dont really hear it from the autistic people. im talking about neurotypical people

And I’ve been talking about autistic people this whole time so I think this is the source of the misunderstanding

Tutuu didn’t say autism was our superpower, tutuu said that we would say autism was our superpower
