>You need to inform yourself more on the subject, specially when it comes to autistic *adults* aka people that either learned the hard way by themselves
That's literally me. I'm autistic and learned on my own to pass as neurotypical. As a kid, my mom took me to a lot of programs for autistic people. Many of the adults there said that they couldn't believe that I was autistic. There were pre-teens acting like toddlers. The autism spectrum is more than just simply Asperger's (I'm calling it that despite the atrocities Han's Asperger may have done) and sever autism. There is shit in between. You and I are clearly less severe than Chris Chan who is unable to learn. I agree that Chris Chan is a disgrace to the autistic community and probably has other conditions like personality disorders, but he is clearly autistic.
>therapy (not "treatment" there is no relevant drugs/surgery/whatever, in a way because there's nothing to really fix, but more things to learn)
That's what I meant. I'll admit that I used the wrong word there.
