I don't think anyone is saying that autism is not real. I was making a point that the character is not autistic, she is made to be similar to the "self-diagnosed" autistic girls on tik-tok or twitter. They just slap a label on the character to give themselves affirmation in their autistic larping. I'm actually pissed off because actual autists are downgraded along side this trend seekers.

If you go through some of the replies, more than a few people are saying autism isn't real.
