Reasons why being "transautistic" is harmful and ableist:
- It takes up limited accessibility resources from people who actually need them
- Actively spreads misinformation about what autism is because they describe allistic or neurotypical behaviors as autism
- Perpetuates stereotypes about autism
- Allows people to believe that autism is a choice, even though it is a lifelong disability someone is born with
- Neurotypicals co-opt autism specific spaces and terms, making the definition of important terms like "special interests" and "stimming" blurry
- Lying to people about having a condition you don't have is not only scummy but can lead others into drawing misconceptions about autism based on what they see in the transautistic
- Causes others to become skeptical of other people's genuine autism diagnosis, leading to fake claiming and casual ableism
