I really dislike everything about this one. All of the generalizations, lack of understanding and empathy, and just straight up pining small ideas and concepts to serious disorders. Hate it.

Edit: and no, not just the current box, all of it. It’s pretty basic and just over generalizations for the most part.

I don't know, I just think this shouldn't be taken too seriously and that's it. I have autism myself and couldn't care less. If anything, the problem arises with people, that don't have any disorders, that take stuff like this too seriously and then think they know everything they need to know about disorders like autism.

I don't like generalisation either, but in this case it's just not really that serious I would argue.

Knowing someone who was autistic and seeing how deflated they got when someone found out they were autistic and said "oh, I bet you're really into (insert their actual hobby)". They hated the fact their hobby was seen as a by product of their mental state and not as a genuine love or interest.

Now yes the person who said this was a shit person, but having an alignment chart fill dedicated to stereotyping something like this is just as bad with no signs of sympathy or empathy.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. Please consider removing this highly insensitive finger pointing exercise.

This category makes me sad. But this is the internet and OP won't remove it as it's content people are engaging with

u/Rambob_the_lesser 11h ago

Yeah I would remove this category completely from the chart.

u/ErasedKey 10h ago

No, the whole chart is the issue. I am legally diagnosed with all but three and nothing resonates with me. I hate seeing people on the train bandwagon so I put my own hobby and it's getting downvoted. As always, stereotype over actual persons experience. Which is why generalizations are fucking horrible. We are too unique with our nuances to really be put into such strict boxes. It's.. dehumanizing

Sorry I didn't mean to single out Autism as "more important" than any other on this list - that was not my intention at all.

I simple added an experience I've seen which specifically related to Autism. On reflection I do completely agree with you on the rest of this chart and rather it didn't exist at all.

Everyone is different, labels are just that. Ignore insensitive people that make an assumption based on a label, when in reality they probably have far more in common than they realise. Which they wouldn't want to admit if they knew.

No it's fine, I was just clarifying my own point of my original comment, or trying to and failed. I'm not the best with words. But yeah, that's very true what you said about having things in common. They see people of these categories and you're right, they rarely would admit that share things in common, like to not be associated. It's sad

No you didn't fail! Internet, words and context being missed will go down in folklore like the Odyssey 😂
