Yeah fr i was thinking ‘yeah that’s EXACTLY what an autistic person needs after getting manhandled and detained- a SCOLDING LECTURE over WORD CHOICE! Woohoo!’
Respectfully to the commenter, we get enough of that shit from regular people already. For some, on a daily basis. Sometimes it’s just bc they feel like guilting someone. So at least for me, that kind of ‘lesson’ wouldn’t go down without some bile (which I’d prob force back up into someone’s face in that situation). The cop looked exactly like her gran and she was right to say it.
Yeah I absolutely agree with you. I didn’t mean to suggest that lecturing the neurodiverse person would have solved the situation in this case.
I meant that even if the girl was neurotypical and/or intended it as a homophobic insult… it doesn’t really matter - if the cop had to do anything, then just talking to the girl would have been a more proportionate response than what happened.
