It’s a big case where a lot of these fandoms have people on the spectrum, and speaking as an autistic person myself (higher end of PDD NOS), I get it’s something we’re born with but it’s also very clear there are so many clueless parents that use their child’s disability as a way to just let them behave however they want with zero discipline or consequences. And then that completely carries over into adulthood.
Then there are others who aren’t neurodivergent but still have a case of clearly being allowed to behave however they wanted growing up. Again. Carrying over into adulthood.
Half the instances of inappropriate behavior I’ve seen from these literal ******* grown adults in their 20s, 30s or even higher, I’d be in deep **** if I behaved like that while my parents were bringing me up.
Speaking of Thomas, let me just say the Thomas community is an even bigger nightmare than the SS community is. I’m VERY casual in that fandom.
