If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It is. It refers to things being held in special regard in social arrangements, to an religious extent. The autism discourse, with all the memes and such, does more often than not include a cult-like adherence to beliefs around certain behaviours that anyone could display, shifting focus away from the developmental aspects of autism which are very much real and to diagnostic markers that are less than well defined but are used in clinical settings like: trouble at work/school/kindergarten [Y/N], and certain things the hiveminds of the world latch onto. There I think of people regarding dislike of the "big" light as being an indicator for autism(???).
yeah, I don't think that applies here
There are also civil and secular religions, so it still applies. Think about the way we fetishize democracy, long covid or mold exposure. Really interesting topic.
Makes one wonder if vampires are autistic.
Autistim is the new 'touched by god'.
That's a very informal, essentially slang usage of the word. It's so informal that it's pointless to argue about whether it's even correct. At any rate better word could certainly have been chosen.
Huh?

Entry 1. and 3., I don't think you know what you are talking about.
