I had a sneaking suspicion they were purposely portraying Twyla more childish/infantile. Which you know. IS A HORRIBLE FUCKINB STEREOTYPE AND BOX AUTISTIC PEOPLE ARE CONSTANTLY SHOVED AND REPRESSED AS.

Before I didn’t have proof. Just their design choices and the fact Twyla’s voice actor Kayla naturally has a deeper voice then what she portrays her as.

but what the FUCK is this?! Wanted to make her sound more ‘Adorable. High pitched. Child like’. What in the rainbow sprinkle fucking unicorns is that?! Tell me WHAT study told them to portray the only autistic character as childlike?! Tell me WHO THE FUCK thought purposely portraying the only character who says their autistic and repeatedly is on tv as more childlike and ‘adorable’ would make a positive impact for the autistic community?!

this is literally GIVINB IN to stereotypes! This shit confirms all the other shit we’ve been trying to fight for YEARS. That we are full fledged adults! We shall not be babied! We are not childlike by being autistic! We can be bad ass rough tough people who ARENT all addicted to history! (No offense to autistic history lovers. But legitimately every single cartoon autistic character I’ve seen has their special interest be history and I’m fucking TIRED of them only giving us one thing to love/one theme aka being a nerd) like WHAT. We are not all child like history lovers
