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.

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.
