"its the same kind of feeling I assume someone would get if their special interest was trains and you asked me for my opinions on bikes." i get that you're saying you don't know but you can't just assume things like that and pass it off as an analogy. autism doesn't work that way and it's very demeaning to just assume how it does and not look into it or ask an autistic person or anything before just saying it. having a special interest in trains doesn't mean you don't care about bikes at all. having a special interest in trains has no weight on your opinion of bikes. you can love bikes. you can hate bikes. you can have a special interest in both trains and bikes. please don't assume things about autism if you don't have it yourself, it alienates the autistic people that just so happen to see your tweets and makes them feel unworthy of the quickest google search. as an autistic system you can and usually do have multiple special interests.
