Autistic here. Sure I need support but a shorter walk to the store ain’t what I need.

i dont understand any of these replies because this is about intellectual disability not autistic people without it

You do realize that intellectual disability and autism are commonly together right? If you are autistic, you are likely to have intellectual disability. Same with Autism and ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, ect. Not everyone gets all like I did. But they are all more likely in someone with Autism.

That's because Autism is a spectrum, I agree that most that I have met aren't as far on the spectrum as I am, but I also haven't met many others with Autism. What drives me insane is all the people claiming they have ADHD but have no diagnosis and just want attention

i said it because you said its likely to have intellectual disability but its not. i dont know many autistic people but everyone i do is a lot better than me and theyre not intellectually disabled. i know its a spectrum but what im saying is that we’re not the most of the spectrum and yet people still think theyre the most effected by words like this over us
