Anime fans are autistic (and that's a good thing that comes in handy). And many of them are kids on summer holidays.

Can we not stigmatize medical conditions and use them as insults? Using autism as a slur hurts people who actually have it.

It might have not been meant as an insult. There's a lot of kids out for Summer right now, a lot of them anime fans that are autistic. She is a mod of an anime sub iirc, so I couldn't imagine her being derogatory about the people there.
