"Also one of the consequences of lumping Asperger's in with autism is that we have autistic people complaining about things like Love on the Spectrum being 'infantilizing'."

"It's great there's a dude with an autistic gf and he doesn't seem that weird but then he's like "let me show you the backyard which is my space" and it's a massive train set"

"this show is fucked. its framed to be this sweet woke show helping autistic people date which is sweet in theory. but like, if you take a step back (and like a verrrrrry small one) it's obvious that Netflix is just like fully taking advantage and subtly making fun of these low functioning autists"
