80 Spot-On Memes For Autistic People Who Are Tired Of Feeling Misunderstood
When you have a touch of the ‘tism, life’s just a little bit different. According to the CDC, about 2.21% of adults in the United States have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). So, about two people out of 100 that you meet might exhibit signs of neurodivergence: missing social cues, hyperfixating on hobbies, stimming, and many others.
If you’re autistic yourself, there’s a certain kind of humor that you might find relatable more than others. The Instagram page “Life in an Autism World” is dedicated to memes for the neurodivergent mind. They’re all about what it’s like experiencing and navigating the world when your brain is wired a little bit differently, and their 182k followers are a testament to how relatable their content really is.

Deep thinkers tend towards depression. Because they know what's likely to happen.

Tell me about it! I am a very logical thinker and if anyone asks for my advice or opinion I give it unfiltered which can upset them if it isn't what they want to hear

I always prepare for the worst with plan A, Plan B and possibly Plan C. Because I think if I do this it is less likely to happen

I don't understand body language at all, so we absolutely do not always get social cues. Of the ones that I have learned, mostly expression and some tones of voice, key word learned, I can't tell the difference between authentic and inauthentic. I also can't add many of those expressions to my face or inflections to my voice, so I do sometimes have a bit of RBF with zero eye contact and monotone delivery (I can do a brilliant villain face). The exception is strong emotion, which does express and inflect correctly.

I, erm, am. Probably something that should have been fostered more actually; I didn't like my classes because I often didn't understand how it was explained, but otherwise as soon as the process clicks I actually love it. I still enjoy trigonometry now that I understand it.

Not at all. For example Rump is just a typical part of the general pattern.

Most people diagnosed as autistic - aren't. "It's exhausting, burns me out and when it slips I turn into a bumbling mess" is actually neurotypical. Almost everybody is like that.

"Neurotypical. I can function whenever I want". PMSL. ROFL. No, that's not neurotypical at all. That's A-HOLE.

If you change the words "an autistic" to "a" then it's still correct.

No no no. No. That's like saying that a turtle is just like a chipmunk.

A lot of what is stigmatized above as "autistic" is instead just "logical". Relatively unaffected by crooked thinking. Relatively unaffected by fakery in advertising. I wish more people were like this.
