About

"Weaponized Autism" is an expression referring to the impressive capabilities of socially awkward, tech-savvy internet users, typically associated with those who frequent imageboards like 4chan and 8chan.

Origin

On August 20th, 2010, the internet humor site Cracked[7] published a listicle titled "The 5 Most Ridiculous Martial Arts Movies Ever," which described the powers of the protagonist in the 2008 martial arts film Chocolate as "Weaponized Autism."

Spread

On December 19th, 2014, FunnyJunk[6] user friedgreenpomatoes submitted the comment "I think we have finally weaponized autism" in response to an anecdote regarding a student at school who attacked another student for saying that "old Spongebob episodes were garbage." On April 5th, 2016, Redditor Fahrenheit_616 posted an gallery of screenshots taken from a 4chan thread in which viewers identified the location of a Rebel training camp in Syria, which many speculated led to its subsequent bombing by Russia. In the comments section, /r/The_Donald[9] users described the incident as an example of "weaponized" and "military grade" autism. On September 11th, 2016, YouTuber dougRiss uploaded a video titled "Anime Thesis," in which he speculates that anime was invented by the Japanese as a form of "weaponized autism" against the Western world (shown below).

On October 25th, Redditor elsuperj submitted a post asking for /r/AskThe_Donald[3] readers to "explain the 'weaponized autism' in-joke." On November 29th, Urban Dictionary[1] user BarrySoetero submitted an entry for "weaponized autism," defining it as "the focused application of nerdiness, computer tech avvy and social awkwardness in the cyber pursuit of justice" (shown below).

Time for some important realtalk.

Being autistic myself, this meme is quaintly amusing to me, and not just because the flattery. Both this and other autism memes, including not-so-flattering ones, are funny to me because of a truth I've realized in the years since my diagnosis: society conditions us to be thin-skinned. I was once shocked and repulsed by 4chan's use of the word "autist". It was unthinkable that they would trivialize people's struggles with autism to use as an general term of abuse!

Then I received a diagnosis.

It was hard for me to accept! Asperger's had been on the table for a long time, but I clung to the other possibility of ADD instead. I don't know why I was so much more afraid of autism than of ADD, but I wouldn't be surprised if 4chan's slurs played a part.

But as I grew to accept my disorder, I began to see something. I actually fine with the 4chan usage of "autism"! What's more, I saw that my shock was rooted in the line of thinking, Oh, just think of all those poor children with autism! I was infantilizing the disorder and the people with it. Once I saw that, and even started using the word in a coarser way myself, it was easier to accept my autism. The last of my shame and fear was gone. I could say to my autism, "I'm not afraid of you," and I could remind myself not to let it become a part of my identity.
