I prefer being called autistic because it just feels more personal. Autism is a part of me. It's part of my identity. I am autistic.

Feeling too many emotions at once confuses my brain out to the point that it doesn't know what facial expression to make.

Saying everyone's a little autistic to validate self-diagnosis doesn't help things. While self-diagnosis is valid, saying that everyone's a little autistic invalidates autistic experiences.

It invalidates the validation

Penny abandons art when she can’t make a perfect picture. If she doesn’t draw, she “can’t fail” — but also can’t focus, relax, be! To see the joy of creation as perfect enough, she must follow not her fears but a single spontaneous smile.

Hiding someone's autism diagnosis doesn't help them. It doesn't stop them from knowing they're different. All it does is make them think that there's something wrong with them.
