This is not true - allistic people are in fact real. The 'Autism spectrum' only refers to differing severity of various 'symptoms' in specific individuals, as each autistic person is unique. That term was never meant to imply that 'we're all a little bit autistic' or whatever, that is simply categorically false, Autistic people are a distinct nuerotype from Allistic people, and that material and psychological distinction is the reason for our social oppression by allistics.

For the record, your posts on this subject are a breath of fresh air. It's so tiring seeing all the idiots on this website tripping over themselves to justifying their continued desire to lionize this guy.
~~Mostly all He/Hims too, but I doubt pointing that out would be taken very well. What a shocker that it's he/hims that have no issue with their favorite special 'heroic' twink of the day being a reactionary acclerationist.~~
True, you are my correct, my apologies for my imprecision on the matter. I suppose I tend to lump it all together as in my view the particularities of why the nuerotypes we recognize as Autistic occur - be they genetic, derived from environmental conditions in the womb, or literally just pure behavioral stuff that was learned in childhood or otherwise - is ultimately an irrelevant factoid, something that ought not be researched at all. What matters, in my view, is combating nuerotypical oppression, and 'we're all on the autism spectrum' stuff is poison to that goal because it denies that autists are even different.
A denial of difference goes hand-in-hand with a refusal to accommodate and an expectation of assimilation into nuerotypical behavioral patterns, imo, so I tend to go rather hard against such language.
