About

Autistic Screeching is an exploitable comic series featuring an illustration of two people shaking hands next to a person crouched in anger with the caption "autistic screeching" placed above their head. The screech is associated with the onomatopoeic expression REEEEE and is often used to mock angry reactions to various political ideologies and alliances.

Origin
