People online who expect you to post a picture of everything you say about yourself otherwise they'll accuse you of lying.

People interrupting you right in the middle of you trying to tell them something, like they know what you are going to say. I don't just mean social, I mean medical or other stuff.

When people dismiss smoking as "just a choice" and not a bad thing, but lecture fat people who like sugar like it's a bad thing.

When you compliment someone but then someone else comes along and turns that compliment into an insult, and it makes you look bad

When people diagnose random celebrities with autism just because they...have a personality.

People who think there are no functioning/severity levels of autism, like everyone with autism is just the same lol.

Mumsnet. The site is full of karens dissatisfied with petty little things in kids TV shows that hardly matter. Like the kids being too well-behaved in a kids show. Or kids not being well-behaved enough in a kids show.
Man when I was a kid I watched South Park and listened to Eminem but it never influenced my behaviour, nor did it my peers.

People who criticise autistic folk who do not work. Every autism case is different, and if a person with autism seems capable but unable to work then it's their business and shouldn't be shamed.

One of my worst pet peeves is 'fisselig'.

The German word 'fisselig' (pronounced as "fhistle fish" ) conveys a temporary state of inexactitude and sloppiness that is elicited by another person's nagging.

From the book, 'They Have a Word For It' by Howard Rhinegold.

It really angers me when people feel they must 'test' my food allergies. I've taken to 'ghosting' everyone who has done this. Mixing an allergen into my food could be fatal, and they think it's only funny.
