Fill it in for yourself: 'But you are nothing like my autistic brother, friend, niece, coworker, etc.'
All autistic people are different. You will never meet two persons on the spectrum who have the exact same traits. Some will have special interest, some will be non-verbal, some will stim a lot, some will be very smart. We all have different symptoms and those are the things that make us who we are.
Myself for example: I can talk hours about the things I like, but the very next moment I can be quiet for a long time. I am very good at noticing details but at the same time I might not understand the simplest things you say cause I am too distracted.
We are all different so don't try to compare us to your uncle, sister or friend.
