Top 10 Most Annoying Autism Stereotypes

My sister and I both have autism, and I think we're both mature for our age - especially her.

I'm very mature for my disorder.

This statement is false. I'm on the spectrum, and I do not have serious chronic depression! Although some of us may feel depressed at least once in our lifetime, not all of us suffer from it. Depression is a separate mental health issue. I am happy with my life.

I'm autistic, and I'm always depressed!

I'm autistic, and I have a weird sense of humor, and I'm proud of it!

I don't take jokes too seriously. I love to laugh.

I can take a joke, but it depends on the joke!

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being introverted. It's just that sometimes you need to come out of your shell to communicate better with other people because it's much better for society.

Not true. At home, I don't talk a lot because there's no one to really talk to, so it can be boring sometimes. But at family parties and vacations, I go into extrovert mode, and I talk a lot.

Being introverted is not a bad thing. Many non-autistic people are introverted as well.

Sure, they have a disorder, but that doesn't mean they have psychological issues like mania, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, etc., that would lead to them eventually going to a mental hospital.

I'm schizophrenic, and I've managed to keep it under control with medicine.

I go walking around the park every day, I do weight lifts, and I'm very good at dancing!

I am more physically fit than a significant portion of my school.

A friend with autism could be a model.

I'm autistic, and I understand people's feelings.

I stopped wearing diapers at age 9 and started wearing underwear at age 7.

While some do need help throughout their lives, most can learn to cook, take public transportation, pay bills, etc.

It's called people with different needs. Understand that!

I have Asperger's, and for a lot of stuff, everyone comes to me for help.

I'm in 6th grade, and I never went to special ed. I went to social work, but that was because I always interrupted class.

Special Ed at school is just one word: HELL!

This one is thankfully not true.

I'll admit I actually do take things too seriously, but I try not to because being too serious about things isn't good for your health.

That is me in some moments. I am an easy-going person, although some situations can get me very emotionally attached.

I'm starting to understand sarcasm better.

How are autistic people pedophiles? That's mean.

Really? Are some people that stupid to think so?

Hell no, are people dumb enough to think that?!

I mean, I like Disney, Tom and Jerry, and SpongeBob, but I also like books, like Alice in Wonderland, Goosebumps, and countless others.

I have Asperger's, and I only like comedy adult cartoons like South Park, Family Guy, Rick and Morty, American Dad, etc.

I hate this stereotype, and it's definitely untrue. I'm autistic, and I am not a cartoon lover.

Out of the ten I've seen, I've only liked two. They were technically a two-parter that somehow wasn't so stupid that it made you want to delete your YouTube app.

There are some autistic people who are verbal as well as nonverbal. It depends on their specific disability!

I'm no longer nonverbal. Actually, I have a nephew, and he isn't autistic, but he's nonverbal.

I'm autistic, and I am completely verbal!
