    The lifelong work of women, to continue to fill in the #life training gaps not covered by parents of boys.

    (As in, there are multiple ways to interpret this meme and not all involve autism.)

      Op is humorously saying they are undiagnosed but suspect they are on the spectrum.

        Not to mention assuming that girlfriend means the maker must be a boyfriend, and for that matter ignoring that autism is severely underdiagnosed in women.

        That said, it doesn’t attack men, that’s your own bias popping up. It attacks parents who have the sheer fucking nerve to not be psychologists who got their degrees from Twitter University.

          Yes. You’re right. It is usually the case that the people who are acting shitty and dismissing the experiences of a large swath of the population due to their ignorance AREN’T actually the ones who feel bad about it! Good job piecing that together, kiddo!
