    Way to turn a positive meme about successfully living a fulfilling life with ASD into an attack on half the planet

    Op is humorously saying they are undiagnosed but suspect they are on the spectrum.

      Not to mention assuming that girlfriend means the maker must be a boyfriend, and for that matter ignoring that autism is severely underdiagnosed in women.

      That said, it doesn’t attack men, that’s your own bias popping up. It attacks parents who have the sheer fucking nerve to not be psychologists who got their degrees from Twitter University.

        The lifelong work of women, to continue to fill in the #life training gaps not covered by parents of boys.

        Pray do tell how I was supposed to interpret that other than an attack on all men. They are explicitly saying that women possess knowledge and or skills that men do not possess and that women must teach these men these skills. It is placing blame on parents., ostensibly but it is saying that the entire male population is in deficit of these skills.
