the myth that aspie = can’t help being an asshole hurts so many people so badly. on all places on the spectrum
I remember talking to Phil Schwarz once and I apologized for being insensitive towards him. And he joked, something like, “But I thought I was the insensitive blundering aspie and you were the sensitive nonverbal autie.” And I got the joke, but I also felt bad that we even have those stereotypes. There is a stereotype that aspies blunder around being insensitive and not really noticing anything, and that auties are quiet and sensitive and more aware of such things. I don’t know where it comes from (probably from the autie side?) but I don’t like it.
