Lighten up? There’s obviously context we’re missing, and the image was created by an org that works with children. I’d imagine the comparison with animals is to help neurodivergent children have a sense of reference if they aren’t emotionally aware. It’s also pretty clear this material isn’t made to help neurotypicals “understand & accept” us.
I’d like to refer you to all of history for what happens to marginalized groups when it becomes culturally acceptable to compare their behavior to animals.
You do you and whatever, but it doesn’t matter who made this or with what intent, it’s still comparing neurodivergent behavior to squirrels and beavers.
It’s not really a factual observation to nitpick an analogy? As well, considering the org looks to be South African based, it also might be that your ascribing western values here when they don’t fit.
It is fact this meme compares neurodivergence to animalistic behavior, but you clearly aren’t interested. Instead, you’ve tried to insinuate racism. Another dog whistle, and another shot at my character.
You clearly have nothing useful to contribute to the conversation. You are not arguing in good faith. I will not continue entertaining you.

It genuinely doesn’t matter to me, I’m just pointing it out.
It’s not really a fact you can just “point out” though? You’re pointing out that an analogy is flawed, it just seems pedantic…

This has all the energy of the Texas furry ban.
And this has the energy of a dog whistle.
You seem intent on making this personal, and I’m not sure why. Either way, I’m not interested in “defending” a factual observation.
