Yes, but that’s not due to autism, that’s due to the way society treats autistic people.

My daughter has it, and I’d say about 5-10 years ago it changed. The amount of acceptance is so much higher than it used to be. Obviously we need work, but hell in my city there are special times at both grocery stores and movie theatres for neuro-diverse people. The difference to a decade ago is extreme.

It’s beginning to change in the academic world. The deficit model is falling for the difference/diversity paradigm.

actually everyone treat others like shit. But what NT have is a much stronger upport circle and fewer difference.

By fewer difference I mean that you cant pick on someone that everyone around him does : A boss can’t really bully a NT for using implicite dicourse when all of their collegues does the exact same, they would immediately realise something is wrong. The average NT knowing jackshit about autism, it can be easy to trick them into thinking that ND should “just make an effort” to understand implicite discourse.

That’s sad part, we are technically all targeted with the same amount of flak so if you are slightly out of cover, you get blasted away
