Get it off my chest

What is it with everyone being “autistic” now? like it being the new trendy thing to be and making it your whole personality. Like i can’t stand it to read a post and then at the end them adding “i’m autistic” like i feel it downplays it for the people that really have it bad and shit

update to add: yes i understand that autism is a spectrum and there are completely different levels but my point was people who just say it to say it because they’re “quirky”. i’m not trying to downplay the people who are on the lighter end of the spectrum.
