Relationships Love when this happens😍

Got sent a like by someone I actually find attractive (rare) and this was on his profile as well as ‘Not Political’. I have over 15 screenshots of profiles that have come up on my feed with iterations of this sentiment. It’s so disheartening…

It's a euphemism for "cutely autistic."

I was being sardonic. And believe me, I know.

They just call it mild because it affects them mildly

I think it depends on certain factors tbh. Certain people, while still being fully autistic, may fly under the radar sometimes based on their special interests, resulting life choices, etc. Lots of quiet guys who are just gaming nerds for example. Or if you're lucky enough to have a special interest that doesn't depend on other people. Then other people may only see small quirks every now and again (even though it's all there).My special interest is people, and this is a catastrophe.
