YES not all autistic people have the same symptoms

YES autism symptoms will not present the same way in everyone

YES sometimes different autistic people will have seemingly contradictory needs

NO none of this means that it's okay to act like one autistic person being able to do something means that all autistic people should be able to do it if they just tried harder

your autistic friend who eats vegetables just fine is not a weapon to use against autistic people who struggle with vegetables. your autistic sibling who can do small talk is not a weapon to use against autistic people who can't do small talk. your high empathy autism is not a weapon to use against low empathy autistics. etc etc. what happened to "if you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person"
