Autistic

Descriptive noun form of autism/ASD, a neurodevelopomental disorder that can feature differences in how someone navigates social interactions, and differences on how we experience physical stimuli (also known as Sensory Processing Disorder, or SPD).

Autism isn’t necessarily *characterised* by sensory-regulating behaviours (also called stims), and while body-stims like rocking and flapping are fairly common, they aren’t defining characteristics nor is stimming harmful in any capacity (with minor exceptions). We’re also fairly highly represented among BFRB populations,

We don’t all approach social situations the same way either. some of us are nonverbal, others hyper-verbal; one autistic might seek physical contact while another might be repulsed by it. What we’re okay with can also vary depending on the situation or how we feel, we’re people.
We aren’t any more monolithic than allistic folks; if you want to know if we’re comfortable with something, ask us.

Don’t get offended if Riley doesn’t make eye contact with you, they’re autistic.

Autistic Self Advocacy Network

An autism organization that promotes respect and acceptance toward autistic individuals. In contrast to many other autism organizations, the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) motivates autistic people to freely express themselves in their own unique ways instead of forcing them to conform with the rest of society. This is the website to go to if you want to support the autistic community in ways that are actually meaningful.

I go to the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) to help out the autistic community. They actually care about autistic people and view autism as a unique condition instead of a disease.

Autistic

A misunderstood developmental disability that interferes with a person's ability to properly and/or appropriately communicate with others. Of course, uneducated assholes on the Internet believe it to be "fancy words" for the slur retarded.

"This game is so autistic!"

"He disagrees with what I'm saying even though it makes no sense and he makes a valid argument? He must be painfully autistic."

Immature Autist Delusion

When ignorant people delude themselves and think that all autists are immature mainly due to mental retardation. This is of course false as most autists have been proven to be highly intelligent and mild functioning and autism itself isn't a mental illness. It is more of a developmental disorder and the more emotionally immature autists would generally be referred to as the Spergs.

Too much people suffer from immature autist delusion. I can guarantee you right now that I may be autistic but I always strive to be highly mature.
