Do you work in tech? Genuinely not kidding

But so what if you can't? Hell i went 40 years undiagnosed, so it's not just you

Nope, would be in tech if I could. Blue collar slave, my hands are almost calcified from the type of work.

Basically, Autistic people complain about how neurotypicals dislike them, and they don't know why.

I don't know why either, I rarely see anything dislikable about autistic people.
