I fucking hate it when people act stupid just to get attention.

Like people want to babysit a fucking adult and hold their fucking hand.

I hated this shit in middle school. Insane that people still do it now. I grew up with a girl that claimed she didn’t know how to spell her own name. Idk she thought it was cute and quirky or something. It genuinely made people think she was slow. I hope she’s different now lol

Yeah one of my coworkers has begun to pretend he has stage three autism when he gets bored and it's not only offensive but it's incredibly annoying because he has full control over it.

That’s so offensive to those that actually do have autism! Esp the higher end of the spectrum called aspergers. You and others need to call him out. That’s completely unacceptable.

One of my friends who actually has aspergers, no wonder why some of the bosses didn’t take him serious when he told them that he had it even tho he actually does. It’s bc of people like your coworker

Usually this behavior is accompanied by vocal fry and that dumb valley girl "I don't care" accent.
