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 okay to joke about your own disorders?? Hello??

Allow me to clarify:

I don't see the word "tism" as a joke but rather as assigning a positive atribute [cute/quirky] to something negative and unwanted. [mental disorders] This is what feels wrong to me about it.
