    Makes sense that she’d be autistic. Double empathy is crazy. Every time I hear about what she’s doing, I legitimately wish I could go with her.

      It’s interesting to me, I’m pretty sure it’s been very public/very talked about common knowledge that she is autistic since she first started making waves. Like it was probably her primary/only descriptor in headlines for a long time.

        I don’t know if she is or isn’t. But I know I am, and that she’s a hero and an idol to me.

        So that’s anecdotal, but combined with the shirt and my autism radar I’d say probably yes

          She is, and she’s pretty much credited her autism for her focus and drive on these issues.
