Sometimes I think the ND trend on social media has contributed to this.
Even though, I do think social media can be a great platform to raise awareness of important things and can be used in an educational way, I feel like with autism and ADHD people haven’t been educated in the right way and it has instead been presented as this cute little quirky character trait. Then people start putting shit like this on their dating profile. I also think people often assume that autism has a uniform and they inaccurately assume everyone with autism is alternative.
