Context dependent indeed!

My nephew and I both have it.

I just seem like a weird guy to the average person, and sometimes people will even get offended if I mention that I’m autistic.

My nephew, on the other hand, is what people think of when they think of autism: Arm flapping, making stimming noises/hums, echolalia, etc.

And boy do I just adore that kid.

His sense of humor is one of a kind.

Anyway… I wish there were subcategories like there are for Depression or ADHD.

People getting mad at me for misunderstandings gets old.

There are "levels", but people ignore them. The status quo is that everybody gets put in one bucket called "Autism" regardless of if they're unable to live independently or are multi-billionaires like Elon Musk.

That is not socially useful.
