[“Autistics have no imagination.” “Autistics live in their own little world.” WOULD YOU PEOPLE MAKE UP YOUR GODDAMNED MINDS!?] One of my favorite* of the constant contradictions “experts” like to spew about autistic people. Tell me something, experts. If I have no imagination, how do I live in my own little world? What exactly would I even do there? How is it even possible to be absorbed in one’s “own little world” without an imagination to take one there in the first place?  “Experts,” it’s time to just admit that you think we’re all brainless husks that sit around staring into space because we lack the capacity for thought. Sure, it’s tasteless and makes you look like a horrible person (and you are) but at least it’s a lot more honest and a lot less contradictory.  P.S. I don’t live in my “own little world.” I live in lots of them, and they’re rarely little. You jelly? *By favorite I mean “most laughably asinine."
