Dislike the idea that only autistic people use linux.
- Only the ones who install it at 12
  
  I did that, not autistic.
  
  I too have never been diagnosed, but I do have my suspicions.
  
  What are your feelings about Sonic?
  
  Played it as a kid but ngl the game is bad. It wants you to go fast but at the same time throws as many spikes and enemies as possible to prevent that. Might be better if it were widescreen.
  
  Have you been screened for diagnosis? Because if not, there's not a great way to tell you aren't autistic. Autism occurs in even the most functional people and masking is a skill many autistic people develop to fit in without realizing they are doing it.
  
  I don't see a reason to go for a screening without evidence to indicate I might be autistic. It may cost money to get screened, and what's the point in getting a diagnosis even if I am autistic?
  
  Your insurance might double in price, and some people/companies/countries might do profiling. Meaning that you will be limited if you ever want to relocate in the future.
  If you love your life too much you could give it a shot.
  
  🤔
  
  Blud, it's not even that tekky, u js choose a distro n DE press next a few times and you're done, your nan could install it.
  You don't even need to touch the terminal for anything other than installing shit n updating, and u can even js use a GUI if ur that braindead u can't type in a few words into a black box.
  All the Linux bashing, and calling users neeks online is js regurgitated US gov propaganda.
  Windows is becoming less usable by the hour, and Apple products are becoming more expensive and less repairable so we're seeing a higher influx of users than ever, not even mentioning the fact they're both spyware controlled by a fascist orange man.
  
  The only tricky bit is porting over a drive. Fresh installs are easy.
  
  Is that not fairly normal though? I must've been around that age when someone at school handed me a mandrake disk and kicked off my first linux experience.
- I'd be kinda ok with someone jokingly saying that about themselves when they're actually autistic. But just randomly calling a stranger autistic in association with a specific interest is so regressive and insulting.
  
  It's the weirdest combination of ableism and aspie supremacy all in one gross package.
