Autistic - what is it?

Someone with neurodiversity as opposed to someone who is neurotypical. Not curable as it is not a diseases, virus, sickness or mental health issues. Not a result of trauma or poor upbringing as it is biological. There is a genetic aspect to it but a person can be autistic without having autistic relatives too. There is no specific way in which autistic people behave as autism just refers to a way in which the human brain can process information and function, personality is separate from that.

"I got diagnosed recently so now I know with certainty that I am autistic."

"This Instagram post, which is trying to be informative, is just pushing stereotypes about autism. Have they even asked looked at autistic support sites for actual facts about autism?"

What does "Autistic" mean?

Simply a word to describe someone who has autism. Autistic is NOT an insult and should not be used in such manner. I am an autistic person, and I get really offended whenever autistic (or autist) is used to offend someone. In fact, itโ€™s partially the reason i have depression. So, everybody, please stop using autistic (and autist) as an insult.

If you want a more urban and minimalistic definition, autistic is a word used to say someone has autism, and people who use it as an insult are dicks.

CORRECT USE: Joey is an autistic kid. He has autism, and is really a smart kid.

INCORRECT USE: OMG Bob is such an autistic doofus heโ€™s so stupid!

Autistic - what does it mean?

Of a person (or animal) who's neurodiverse or has autism, possibly caused by a mutation on chromosome 15 before development and birth. These people are normal but may have sensory, behavioral, and social differences. Otherwise, autistic individuals are either smart or intellectually impaired, sensory oversensitive or sensory undersensitive, unique, and creative. Neurodiversity is not retardation or taboo but a blessing and a personality trait.

Stupid: "You retarded?"
Me: "No, I'm autistic."
Stupid: "That explains why you're weird and probably stupid."
Me: "Oh, so an animal science nerd is stupid!? Spell 'intelligence'."
Stupid: "..."
Me: "Uh-huh! That's what I thought!"

I'm actually autistic, so if I ever encounter someone this stupid, I will just show them this.

Autistic - meaning

A word used by arrogant and ignorant dumbfucks to call people stupid. This term is extremely ironic, because most of the geniuses of the past, including Einstein, Newton, and Bill Gates. Whoever uses this term derogatorily should be publicly beaten.

"wow man James is so autistic he got a 36 on the test"
"James if you don't shut the fuck up I'll give you 36 broken bones"

Autistic

Descriptive noun form of autism/ASD, a neurodevelopomental disorder that can feature differences in how someone navigates social interactions, and differences on how we experience physical stimuli (also known as Sensory Processing Disorder, or SPD).

Autism isnโ€™t necessarily *characterised* by sensory-regulating behaviours (also called stims), and while body-stims like rocking and flapping are fairly common, they arenโ€™t defining characteristics nor is stimming harmful in any capacity (with minor exceptions). Weโ€™re also fairly highly represented among BFRB populations,

We donโ€™t all approach social situations the same way either. some of us are nonverbal, others hyper-verbal; one autistic might seek physical contact while another might be repulsed by it. What weโ€™re okay with can also vary depending on the situation or how we feel, weโ€™re people.
We arenโ€™t any more monolithic than allistic folks; if you want to know if weโ€™re comfortable with something, ask us.

Donโ€™t get offended if Riley doesnโ€™t make eye contact with you, theyโ€™re autistic.
