I hope you're alright after that physical attack! Hope someone educated the kid on their autism and their actions too. I think I slightly understand the train of thought with the "it's not an animal" argument though. I'm guessing the kid assumed that the word gold was reserved for actual gold unless talking about animals like the golden hamster or goldfish where it just meant gold colored :P

Edit: also sorry for sending this comment thrice, no idea how that happened

Maybe, I really couldn't tell that. To me this was a story about someone's autistic brother who had multiple mental breakdowns with rampaging construction sites and injuring other classmates. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I wouldn't expect many people to know about concretes dangerous environmental impact through released CO2 during production and it is not mentioned in the post either.

This post kinda feels like op is ridiculing autism with a probably made up story. Hyperfixation is a thing with autists but they don't only talk about one topic and they shut up from time to time too. Autists are more than their hyperfixations, they're humans.

Percentile gang, let's go! 😎

The median, or 50th percentile, here would be 17 or 18, meaning 50% of the princesses are aged 17 or lower, and 50% are aged 18 or higher.
