    What’s this thing recently about using ‘im too autistic too…’ or 'because of my autism '?

    It feels like people are using this like we’ve used ‘retarded’ in the past.

    Kinda sucks.

      There’s a trend of blaming all mistakes on autism. It’s kind of like a nothing is my fault type thing. People I know with autism definitely do it sometimes but I get the feeling many people who don’t have it do it as well.

      My son went through a similar phase recently where he decided he believed in God but he only used it to blame everything on God.

      So he’d trip up and say “Thanks God!”.
