I mean, I am autistic, and I think this is funny and generally accurate enough to not be offensive.
Autists are very often all about creating and enforcing consistent, specific patterns.
A stance is a pattern.
I myself have been bored, and tried to do things like this, invent pose rules for myself, see the extent that I can succrssfully apply them.
Also, there are a lot more things cats will do, or traits they have, that are also broadly accurately common amongst autists.
Such as being very sensitive to light level changes.
They can literally see into the UV spectrum, so that kind of mirrors how autists often notice visual patterns that others don’t.
They also tend to be hyperaware of even the most minute changes to their ‘home’ environments… autists tend to be that way too.
lol cats are also… rather comparitively bad at socializing, unless its with someone they know and trust quite well, or have been very well raised around well-behaved people and/or other animals.
edit … on second thought, im not sure i agree its a “natural change in language” so much as it is a cultural meme that people just thoughtlessly parrot. so, i feel language hasnt changed so much as a term of the moment has. but anyway, im rambling. cheers.
agreed, but individual terms trending or not, dont equate a “change of the language” so much as a change of whats trending in said language. a semantic nitpick, to be sure. :)
when did it become acceptable to just call everything autism? i can tell you im pretty damn sick of it and it hasnt even been that long.

Same thing happened with OCD as well. It’s just natural changes in language. This one will pass as well and there will be a new word in a few years
true all around

Honestly, I think that’s a big part of how language naturally evolves
