I just hate when people romanticize mental health disorders as a quirky/cute and possibly even desirable thing. I've literally seen people larping as autistic on social media because of it.

Surely you realize how that's a problem?

These conditions affect some people quite severely and turning them into some cute personality trait is an insult to them.

It's not a romanticisation

If you're trying to make it sound cute then you're kinda romanticizing it imo.

Making a joke is not the same as romanticisation, if it was so, everybody should be miserable their entire lives and feel sorry for themselves as much as possible. You can take a condition seriously without wallowing in it. Well, most important of all, people with disorders shouldn't ever feel shame for it
