Please call them autistic traits, not symptoms. We're not sick.
You're right. Autism isn't an illness that can be cured, and shouldn't be talked about like it is.
Zim and Dib both formed back when we were still under our abusers thumb who did think that autism was a sickness. We are collectively working past that mindset.
We still have a long ways to go in our healing journey, and appreciate you telling us the way we worded that post is problematic. We will change it now.
