I've heard plenty of people say it around me at college or work, not knowing I actually am diagnosed with it. They either make jokes about it or they don't know about autism. I've given up trying to correct them as it's pointless.

It's not people of a certain age either. I've heard many different people joke about it; teenagers, old people, politicians. It's quite sickening honestly.

((Ok rant about autism done, sorry about that

"Let`s take this further....any health problem at all?....impose your magnificent willpower on it to stop it!!!!!!!!

doctors are for weaklings who can't heal themselves with their own mind!"

You have problems to begin with!? Ha foolish mortals with their "problems" they just need to stop having problems.

You don't need a buffer, you definitely won't feel guilty for having a nonexistent posting schedule, it's fiiiiiiiiine

Pointing out common clichés and tropes in a genre will open to a great discussion. Nobody will ever get butt hurt! Especially if you keep it civil and discussing it in a light-hearted, non-demeaning way! Guaranteed.

Make sure your story is only appealing to a niche crowd and then also make sure you have no connections nor money with which to advertise your story to this specific crowd. To make double-sure you don't grow big, consider mixing bits of ideology into your work in order to filter out those who would've otherwise been interested.

But whatever you do, do not become self-aware.

And if you do, have this playing 24/7 on loop while you write. It will rebuild your confidence so that you can keep up the good work.

Learn from the best, kiddos.

Bonus advice: Make sure you're wrapped in just enough irony that nobody can tell whether you're shooting for a pity party or just taking the piss out of yourself.

remember kids if you find white stuff in a bag SNIFF IT ALL IMMEDIATELY.

You should make a point to complain about boyslove again. Seriously, I'm sure nobody has heard your hot take and theyre just ignoring it because they don't appreciate your vision.

Make a comic based off of a a really inappropriate fanfic. I hear cringe is all the rage these days.

Approach an artist you've never met/spoken to before with a giant project you want them to do and offer to pay them with "exposure".
