cops are super fucking ignorant. I explained to them clearly and calmly many times that joe and I are both autistic, and they insisted over and over that our body language was ‘weird’ and that we ‘seemed like we were on drugs’ and I…

Yep.

Also when I used to actually go out by myself, police thought nothing of grabbing my arms and checking then for track marks (pushing up my sleeves) without even warning me. They didn’t seem to think I was worth warning about anything, or asking permission, or treating remotely like a human being.

    Reasons why the idea that a shared universal body language exists scares me.

    If it’s large enough to affect interactions with the police, it would be wise to have medical evidence to support it....
