They are not erasing anything. YOU are assuming autistic people automatically get gifts. Stop it. Stop that shit right now.
Your attitude is EXACTLY what is wrong with the show, and the EXACT thing the main post is making fun of. Stop it. Even if SOME still have wonderful abilities, you are distinctly and exactly doing the wrong thing to say, "butbutbut some of us are smarter than average!".
Yea. You know who ELSE also has a chance to be smarter than average? LITERALLY EVERYBODY!!
I didn't say automatically. I said it's true for some of us. I fully acknowledge that some people with autism get absolutely shafted in terms of the cluster of personality traits and ND symptoms they develop. I'm just saying that the benefits of autism, such as they are, cannot be achieved by an NT brain. Whether or not that is "worth the cost" isn't for me to say. It depends greatly on rolls of the biological dice.
Yeah they can. I don't know how the likeliness compares, but it's well within the realm of possibility.
Yes, any by trying to reply in the negative to everyone supporting the mai post, YOU are still directly attempting to contradict the sentiment while not admitting to it.
Stop it. Stop trying to reinforce stereotypes to protect your own feelings. It's pitiful. Yes, responding in a, "but it's kinda tru tho" way IS defending the stereotype.
You seem really angry about a pretty innocuous conversation on the internet. All I was saying is that there's a bit more nuance here than was being suggested. I'm not saying either side of the argument is entirely wrong. Just sharing my personal experience.
No, I'm getting angry at you literally and completely failing to understand the entire point made by the post.
That's sad, bro
Yes, it is sad that people need to feel extra special to the point where they hold on to detrimental stereotypes.
No, no, that's not what I was talking about
