I've only had the confidence/anger to say it directly to soneone once, but I've decided in the future to reply to this with "and you didn't look like a judgemental piece of shit, yet here we are."

    The dangerous thing is that I would practice this until it’s a habit and then auto-deploy the script at the worst possible person.

    I'm not autistic, but this sounds like a good way to get out of a conversation. Would this be cultural appropriation?

    This is one of the ways to handle someone saying you don't look disabled (whether autism or other). I think w can all share it when appropriately used against judgmental assholes. I personally have gone with a less aggressive "and you didn't look so rude".
