  1. I have talked to many parents of real kids with autism, and see people that actually have autism and the struggles they face. But thanks to social media, and the fact doctors have made autism a catch all term, people that don’t have it like to claim they do. It’s detrimental to those that do have it, because it spreads false awareness, and takes resources, as well as makes people have the wrong ideas. Many parents of real autistic children tell me how horrible it is to have someone go on and on about their autism, and all the things they are doing, when they themselves will be a caregiver to their child the rest of their life. There are different levels now, because it became a catch-all, but it sucks to see all the people these days claim they are when they aren’t. But I’m glad he’s pushing awareness, he did a really great job. 👍
