Wait, when did calling someone a normie or normal have to do with autism? Like I understand the link, but I had always it had been about making a distinction between inside and outside of your particular subculture. Like traditionally normies don't know/care about things people on 4chan know/care about, because they're outside of the culture. But the distinction could be for any subculture/interest.
autism threads on lemmy are full of autism supremacists. it's insane.
