    I already heard about this, and fuck them. A whole lot. “Having moral convictions even when others aren’t looking makes autistic people inferior!

      Could not have said it better. Thank you.

      There are more or less serious counterinterpretations like „how to spot you‘re neurotypical“ which turns the thing on its head. Equally hilarious and dystopian.

      Have a good one.
