Not to defend the insulting but most people don't realise that the person is autistic. Autism has different spectrum and some of the symptoms are very subtle for the untrained. I have a family member who is diagnosed with autism late in life, which explains a lot when we were growing up.

What a minute......autism is not a blood type?
Does anyone have that image of the fucked up fork meme that was going around a few days ago?. I hated that one and was telling about it but couldn't find it.
Is it this one? I never saw it, but I googled "fork meme" and this was a likely candidate.

This is just straight hypocritical from them
With how frequently I see hypocrisy I'm beginning to hypothesize the neurotypicals aren't good at, at-least, that kind of logical consistency.
