Why are like half normal male hobbies now considered "autistic" ?
You like modelling? Autistic
You play strategy games? Autistic
You are interested in any type of vehicles, sea, land, air or space? Autistic
You like history? Autistic
Interested in politics? Autistic
Board games? Autistic
I'll end the list here coz you get the point. Things that, even very recently because I remember it, were considered typical male hobbies, are now considered a symptom of autism even though they are very common hobbies and interests. It's so weird to hear a whole community describe itself as autistic solely because they like a video game of a particular type. What is up with that? Does like a quarter of humanity have autism? Why are so many things now considered abnormal even though until very recently they were seen as completely typical activities and interests? #conversation
