Autism is something that effects the brain in a way we have yet to fully understand. How old were your students?

19-22

Ok

if autism doesnt manifest itself in any way we can register, why even bother diagnosing it?

In recent years, what we diagnose as autism has changed. What was once something extremely rare was now uncommon.

But we can register it

Wait, what are we even arguing about

Can someone fill me in

honestly, most autists I met (from the west) were just pricks that used autism as justification for being assholes to everyone

scroll, michael

Am I a prick?

I did scroll up, can't really tell what's happening

Anyone care to tell?

Tovarish, a few people doing something doesn't mean it's nonexistent

@Deleted User Camora decided to lecture me about the benefits of autism because an asshole on the nvidia discord used self diagnosed autism as a "shield from critisizm" card and got triggered when I asked randomly why I never saw autists in Russia

... never said it was self-diagnosis

Daniel then decided to trigger me but failed

Oh. I see. Thanks,

so eeeh

Now they are just dicks.

damn russians

^ bears on unicycles

beating nazis

Cant even get their shitty country together.
