being perceived as the awful, dreaded "neurotypical".

It's like this for all of them.

"Normal" is bad. Everything else flows from this. Cishet = bad, be LGBTPQUDJFKDKJSD+, just make up some xenogender or aromantic-noncommital-poly-bi bullshit if you're not actually gay. White = bad, be some form of "POC". Neurotypical = bad, self-diagnose some sympathy-inducing mental illness (or 5). You can see the pattern. They must be "special" in some way even if that is something which is actively harmful to themselves and society at large.

In the quest for uniqueness, they end up pining for any abnormality. Because it's trendy now. It's pretty characteristic of one not at all used to being singled out for being different.
