   Hey, you... Who thinks they might be #ActuallyAutistic and worry using the hashtag and/or calling yourself autistic only to later find out you aren't somehow hurts the "real autistic people"...
   You're welcome here. You can talk about your experiences here. You can ask questions here.
   If you were incorrect, no harm done, and it's very very different from "faking it". Also, we won't be mad. Also, we're not going to ask for your certification or something.

     Also, if you relate to us, and we make sense to you, and it still turns out you aren't autistic... That's certainly "close enough" to chill with us.

     Also also, if somehing we do or use also helps you, you can still do that even if you are as not autistic as is humanly possible. We don't have a monopoly on stimming, fidget toys, or weighted blankets.

     @hellomiakoda I now have a mental image of capybara, willing to chill with those who are chill.
