I just saw someone on twitter proposing the "theory" that Theresa May is on the autism spectrum. Could we stop doing that? Please?

Ascribing mental illness/neurological differences to people you don't know is fucking disgusting, even more so when it's about people you don't like.

I'm not on the spectrum (I'm bipolar) so I can't know how bad that must feel, but seeing people go "Oh Trump is probably Bipolar, that explains everything" makes me wanna bash their faces in bc holy fuck.

@kellarkatt speaking as someone who's Autistic, I'm tired of NTs ascribing Autism to people especially when they dislike the person. I always feel kinda uncomfortable and hurt bc they always gotta say something about Autism that's incorrect.
Just say Theresa May is a fash, that's a much more damning & accurate indictment. They don't need to drag Autism in to it ffs. (Same goes for Tr*mp's 10 year old son that liberals have basically headcanoned as Autistic, it's weird and just. Ugh)
