The most autistic guy I know is a literal train conductor for a freight line lmao. He always gives us a huge blast of the train horn when he goes by our house.

Other than that though, yeah autistic people rabbithole into anything and everything. The train stuff and related stereotypes, like "all autistic people are socially delayed and have photographic memory like rainman" are actually super harmful and contribute significantly to under diagnosis of autism. Especially for those who don't present as "nerdy white guy who builds model trains all day and can only see the world through the lense of advanced maths".

i appreciate your comment, but i just have one question. Is the guy actually autistic or just "most autistic" as in just stereotypes?

not at all shitting on your comment, just legitimately have to ask these days bc its so commonly thrown around.
