A common symptom of autism is having difficulty understanding jokes.

I am autistic, can you tell me why you think my disorder is prejudiced?

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

core misunderstood the joke. You instantly considered them autistic. That's prejudice.

Yes, misunderstanding jokes is a common symptom of autism. "Prejudice" is usually reserved for when you accuse someone of wrongdoing or a bad thing without evidence, why do you consider autism a bad thing?

I don't know what you are trying to do here, but it seems extremely bad faith.

prejudice /prĕj′ə-dĭs/ noun

  1. The act or state of holding unreasonable preconceived judgments or convictions.
  2. An adverse judgment or opinion formed unfairly or without knowledge of the facts.
  3. Irrational suspicion or hatred of a particular social group, such as a race or the adherents of a religion.

You hold false convictions and have formed an opinion without knowledge of facts. That's prejudice.

And then you try to frame me as somebody who considers autism a bad thing? Nice try but that just shows how much of a bad faith actor you are.
