Part 3/13:
Participants criticize how these memes and posts tend to overgeneralize behaviors. For example, someone might claim that being quiet when meeting new people and then becoming outgoing later is a clear indicator of autism, which is a gross oversimplification.

This overreach dilutes the significance of genuine autism symptoms and makes it harder for people to distinguish between normal personality traits and actual clinical conditions.
