I get that you're trying to use it in a positive way, but in my country that first word you used is a slur that has not even attempted to be reclaimed, so it instantly makes me start reading your comment with an ableist tone.

Now that I know you're trying to frame it in a positive way, I can force myself to read your comment in a positive tone. But it's difficult because the language chosen still makes me read it like you're annoyed that autistic people will miss the sarcasm and take it too seriously.
