Vent: My boss keeps saying 'everyone's a little autistic' and it drives me crazy

He said it again in a team meeting last Tuesday when I asked for a quiet space to work. It matters because it makes my real needs sound like a choice or a quirk. I was diagnosed at 15 after years of struggling, and comments like that just erase that. Has your workplace ever handled this kind of thing well?

Ugh, tell him everyone's a little bit of a jerk too.

Know I'm definitely in that club sometimes (sorry, past coworkers). It's a good reminder to cut people some slack, yourself included. We're all just trying our best on a weird day.
