It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I am.

I'm not autistic or anything, so it's definitely your prerogative to tell me to shut the gently caress up, but isn't it kind of messed up to say "my amount of autism is great, but people who are more autistic than me definitely need help"? Either it's a disease that needs curing or it's not. Maybe this is an inherent problem with it being a "spectrum" of disorders?

Not sure how I feel about this neurodiversity stuff, but I think you're onto something with the last bit. Low functioning autism manifests with severely low IQ and significant impairment. I don't think you can really compare that much with the higher functioning part of the spectrum.
