“Odyous of olde been comparisonis, And of comparisonis engendyrd is haterede.”

Every autistic person I meet is both “more autistic” than me in some areas and “less autistic” than me in others, while the same amount in others. This holds true when comparing any two autistic people.  If you don’t understand this, that’s okay. But if you don’t at least acknowledge the truth in it, you shouldn’t be even trying to make comparisons between two autistic people.   Whether you yourself are autistic, or not.  Whether you are so sure that you’ve picked up on the real differences between two people just by looking at them, or not.
