Neurotypicals, what do autistic people look like to you?

Trying to get an idea of how NTs see us. I know that when I see autistic people, I see someone that’s like me. Obviously, that’s not how NTs perceive us, so what do we look like to yall??

        Ah, didn’t know you were midwestern. Down here in Texas, our intimate relationships are only between ourselves and the sun.

          Up here you need to pack all the bodies you can together in the winter. Or at least you used to back when we had winters. Also it’s just far more frugal to make a casserole for several people.

            Down here we’re legally obligated to have an acre to ourselves outside of the major cities. Since there’s no life around, the pnly thing that keeps my heart warm and healthy is my beloved star.
