    Autism is a spectrum. Some autistic people are able to function somewhat normally while others might need help all their life. The term is certainly over used but it’s possible to meet someone autistic without ever knowing it.

      Yeah, I’ve worked with autistic people for 10 years, I’m pretty aware of what it is. I find it insulting for these people to see this condition use as a buzzword for memes.
