Quick comebacks for autism jokes

Well, I'd dare them to repeat that on pain of a swift throat-punch, but a snappy retort? Maybe something like "no, it's not so autistic, it's so guy in a yellow shirt with a crappy bowl-cut" if for instance the offender was a guy in a yellow shirt with a crappy bowl-cut.
 
Jokes and wisecracks about autism were made frequently at the school I attended. However all of us had autism.
 
"Autism? Isn't that what Einstein is supposed to have had, and Newton? ... and Nikola Tesla? Thanks for the compliment! :D "
 
People who criticise Autism seriously need to shut up IMO.

NT life is far from perfect, it's even worse when us Aspies get morons slagging us off, calling us the R word or worse.
 
I don't endorse any of these. But I do enjoy making lists.

Possible replies to:
1. Are you autistic?
2. You're so autistic.

A. Thanks.
B. You're remarkably perceptive.
C. Thanks for stating a fact. Now let's work on your insults.
D. We can't all be neurotypical, Karen.
E. Yes, I am and you're stupid. These are both things we can't change.
F. What's your point?
G. And how do you feel about that?
H. Aww. Isn't that cute? You learned a new word and you're trying to use it.
