I’m 100% neurotypical and and find that pretty much every community is just a bunch of relatable memes. ADHD, Autism, Bi-polar disorder, depression, etc.
Same thing with all the various sexual identities. I’ll call out bisexual people because I think most of them will admit it: they’ll take literally any behavior and appropriate it as a key element of bi culture. Lemon bars? Bi. Bad sitting posture? Bi. Cuffed jeans? Bi. Finger guns? You’re not a goofy sitcom character, you’re bi! Appropriating any innocuous behavior as part of your sexual identity’s culture? Bi!
I’ve got no problem with it. Anything for more good memes.
It’s not just bis. Gays do it to. I found out from Reddit gay subs that I should be a fast walker. Apparently gay people all walk fast. Not something I’ve ever noticed.
It’s funny how innocuous stereotypes sometimes get popular like that. In ten or twenty years that stereotype will have been repeated by the current generation so much that the next generation will find it offensive.

By definition, only the most neurotypical and relatable memes get upvoted. The real neurodivergent ones get buried.

I swear that someday the word “autistic” will become offensive
Any word is offensive if you use it in a manner to cause offence.
A muppet is a kids puppet with a hand in it, very entertaining, but if I call you a muppet I’m saying you’re all mouth and no brains.
Most insults for stupidity are archaic medical terms describing a lack of normal capacity.
Yeah, but saying “lunatic” doesn’t carry the same weight as the R slur. I think “autistic” may eventually carry that weight
Because people are less offended about being called crazy than deficient. That’s nothing new.
