A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

When I think of Autistic people from history I think of Buster Keaton. Buster Keaton was known for his stone cold appearance and there is a lot of evidence that he was Autistic. I also wonder if some of the "witches" in the witch trails were actually just Autistic women.
There are also a plenty of other "might be Autistic" historical figures but it is rather hard to actually make any conclusions especially when you start going back centuries. Everyone from Ada Lovelace to Leonardo da Vinci to Alan Turning. I honesty think there could be a link between Autism and major breakthroughs.
One person I have never really been sure about is Hildegard of Bingen. There isn't a lot to go one but she seemed very dedicated to a few things so maybe.
There's also a hypothesis I've seen floating around that Celtic bards and Nordic Skalds may have had higher rates of autism. Basically the idea is that the requirements for memorizing, maintenance, and application of laws which they kept would be easier for folks with autism.
Yes, yes, autism is a super power and only autistic people deserve voting rights or can be competent and motivated, calm down, Elons.
That is your reaction to a group of marginalised people realising that a niche has always existed for them?
You need to reexamine your life choices.
Sure bro, that's what happening, and there isn't a very real autism supremacist movement
So anything that tries to level the playing field means there's a "movement" that seeks to take everything from white men, that about right?
Grow the fuck up and accept responsibility for your own mistakes. There isn't some great conspiracy to keep you down, you're doing that all on your own.
Sure bro, that's what's happening in this conversation.
