Just saw a Facebook group called “Always Unique Totally Intelligent Sometimes Mysterious”

And realized its initials spell AUTISM.
Maybe it’s from moving in with my sis and being around my nephew so much - as a lifestyle instead of once-in-a-while visits where I never knew how to be around him - but I am so feeling a lot of love for people with autism and their always unique, totally intelligent, sometimes mysterious ways. Does anyone else relate?

I really hate that acronym actually.

Because autistic folks are *people*, not puzzles or inspiring things or something.

Someone changed the words. It used to be Totally Interssting. Or maybe Intriguing. Certainly not Intelligent though.
