Tarnia - Used the word "is too autistic to understand" when trying to discuss their understanding of something through an emote

[Tarnia]

Username: Tarnia

Ban reason: Used the word "is too autistic to understand" when trying to discuss their understanding of something through an emote
Length of ban: Indefinite
Ban Issue:
I did what I was banned for, but the ban is unreasonably harsh

Vote Opt-Out: false

Events leading to the ban

I was talking to another person when they started joking about something I did not understand, which happens often due to my autism. So I stated that my character was “too autistic to understand”, imagining that she would be autistic like me and would be just as confused. Round went on as usual, no one reacted to my emote.

Reason the ban should be removed

Because I never meant “autistic” as a bad thing, slur or insult. I just meant what it literally means: I am autistic. From now on I will refrain from referring to my disabilities, because before this I didn’t think talking about it could be mistaken for bigotry. Thank you in advance.
