    I hate how people co-op actual medical conditions because of shit like this.

    It’s not autism, it’s just changing priorities as people age and human variation.

    Words have meanings and if we let idiots keep changing the meaning stuff like “idiot” goes from medical diagnosis to insult, and the scientific community keeps having to re-invent terms that aren’t muddied, which further confuses the idiots who didn’t even know what the last term actually meant in the first place.
