Autistic Person: Are you autistic?

Non-Autistic Person: No.

Autistic Person: What kind of non-autistic are you?

Non-Autistic

Person: What do you mean? I never knew that there are different kinds of not being autistic.

Autistic Person: Are you a high functioning non-autistic or a low functioning non-autistic?

Non-Autistic

Person: What? That doesn’t make sense?

Autistic Person: Are you the kind of non-autistic who’s independent, or do you need other people to help you do certain things? Are you the kind of non-autistic who has amazing skills, or do you struggle with certain things?

Non-Autistic Person: I can’t categorize my entire life’s experience into one category. There are some things that I can do on my own, and there are some things that I need help with. There are some things that I’m very skilled at, and there are some things that I struggle with.

Autistic Person: Now you know how we feel when people ask us those questions.
