Yea... people stereotype autists as those that are mentally retarted and stuff.
I actually know a couple of other autists, with one being my friend self (I was like "no way" myself tbh. :/) and they are no way near the level of "stereotyped" ******ism.
Some may be slower then the rest and some may excel the average human at that age, but they still can function normally in the normal world, hence the reaction I wrote in the OP.
