Something I’ve noticed.

if you ever need to quickly get a list of autism symptoms and examples of neurodivergent behaviors, just go ask an acephobe what’s most “cringey” about the subculture of inclusionism.

“they get so obsessed and make really weird jokes about cake and dragons, making flags and acting really embarrassing.”

like. criticizing abnormal humor or a “childish” demeanor, criticizing individuals for being extremely passionate and involved in their interests to the point where neurotypicals can find it disconserting…

half the posts mocking inclusionist humor and behavior are mocking neurodivergent behaviors. it’s a rerun of seventh grade for me tbh, people mocking my autism constantly without even realizing that my autism is what they’re making fun of. they’re just mocking how weird i talk! how strange my humor is and how unrelatable the jokes are!  mocking my lack of social tact and difficulty adhering to social etiquette!

it’s a form of subtle ableism, finding any young person who gleefully and passionately says something innocent yet embarrassing (like “WHAT IF WE HAD A CAKE PROM FOR ASEXUALS ON THE MOON!” or something of that caliber) and then humiliating them on a public platform for sadistic enjoyment.

it’s a demonization of neurodivergent behaviors, a well-oiled machine designed to publically humiliate the opposition by targeting our high percentage of autistic (or otherwise neurodivergent) individuals.

it’s ableism. it isn’t overt, the words “autism” aren’t said, but it’s functionally identical to targeted abelism.

The microlabels thing is also common to autism and other neurodivergencies in my experience. Like, wanting a separate word for every tiny discreet concept, wanting to qualify and quantify some experiences as distinct from others, is a thing with autism for me. 

Another thing I’ve seen them making fun of is not ‘getting’ sarcasm, or mocking people for “not knowing it’s a joke.” (Usually after telling a shitty bigoted joke)

The crytyping jokes and in general mocking people for getting upset easily are also major ableism

exhibit B: “you’re so gullible lmao”

exhibit C: a group of exclusionists literally came into my a-spec discord server and created a fake profile who’s entire purpose was to mock my autistic traits and special interests.
