Very soon comfort-eating will be considered a sign of autism too, and there’ll be no neurotypical people left in the world in ten years’ time, the way things are going.

I mean, ugh. The sooner this neurodivergency craze ends the better. It’s good for increased awareness of stuff to run in certain lines but in reality no-one cares if you identify as an autistic non-binary they/other person who only dates trans people and likes the texture of muffins so much that that’s your breakfast. No-one is even arsed so do that in your corner. But when people are just listing normal foods as autistic comforts you know the ting’s going too, too far. It makes me so angry.
