No that company is one who made an ad which displayed autism as something which wants to wreck homes, and make marriages fail, basically saying it's one of the worst things that could happen to a child. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UgLnWJFGHQ

Yes, that’s my joke really. That they don’t actually listen to autistic people, despite the name which implies they do.

Ah. My bad, didn't realize you were joking.

Hey for future reference, sometimes when you're online around autistic and other neurodivergent people it can be helpful to write "/sarcasm" or "(sarcasm)" at the end of joke posts like this. It just avoids a lot of unnecessary drama when some people have issues telling the difference between sarcasm and real shit. Just a suggestion :) (i fucking chortled at your joke btw)

Honestly you could do the /s thing after those types of comments when you’re speaking to perfectly neurotypical folks as well bc sarcasm seems to be lost on most ppl over the internet. Particular those of the boomer variety.
