Yes. I am autistic. How did you know? /s (www.teamfortress.tv)

A reply that insults me with the word (highlighted by the red arrow) autistic.

I was wrong; but I still think it's harsh to (cyber)bully a person like that for making a mistake.

r/autism - "I am so immensely offended by this stereotype. I have never met an autistic person who acted like that, and I went to a school for autistic people." (www.reddit.com)

Ah yes: The stereotypical "you DON'T aCT lIke THE OTHer auTisTiC pEOplE I'Ve MET" line.

(Autism can manifest in variants of the diagnostic symptoms; there is no "one way" to "be" autistic.)

Also, diagnostic labels are labels; they don't change, but instead influence, the person.

I think Carl is autistic; his stims seem to be repetitive and he dislikes the puzzle set being incomplete.

(I am aware of only that episode though; so I can't really do a good analysis on Carl.)
