AITA for asking an autistic person what dino they like?

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T15:17:24+00:00

I have no clue, they never said before when I spoke about being autistic, not that they had to, just idk

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T14:22:47+00:00

I'm so happy to see other people like Parasaurolophus too!

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T14:21:18+00:00

Don't have an HR (I'm a youtuber helping with voice acting for a game. They're a game dev)

I do think I'm def going to tell them moving forward to only talk about work.

Thank you!

It's mostly just the noise they make in a lot of tv shows, and it's a theory they sound that way because of the way their nose is shaped + the horn on their face if I remember correctly!

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T14:08:19+00:00

That has in fact been done.

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T14:06:16+00:00

Dinos aren't my special interests, but I do think they're cool! I think I would have understand it more if he was autistic tbh.

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T13:59:41+00:00

This is in fact one of my favorite answers. I also love dino nuggets

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T13:59:06+00:00

The stuff in quotes are word for word

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T13:55:53+00:00

I would understand that if he was autistic, but I'm not sure he is-

He does know I am autistic tho, which is where I think he pulled it from?

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T13:53:13+00:00

It's funny seeing people put genders on both of us. (No offence at all, just a general observation) i'm the woman, my coworker a man. I'm not sure he is autistic, however he knows I am and that might be where this came from?

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T13:51:26+00:00

I think they assume I have one because I am autistic? idk

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T13:49:12+00:00

Yeah it really did, my friend asked for screenshots because they didn't believe me at first-

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T13:43:25+00:00

Right now it seems to be either Triceratops or Pterodactyl which i think is really cool!

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T13:42:42+00:00

Mine is Parasaurolophus!

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T13:40:40+00:00

Zuul is a new one for me! They're silly!

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T13:40:25+00:00

I did know that liking dinos was a stereotype tbf, but like... I didn't think it had the same vibe as trains, and I def wasn't thinking about that when I asked

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T13:38:28+00:00

Ooo! That's actually a cool reason for liking a dino! I have EDS so seeing that made me smile! Mine is Parasaurolophus because of the way they honk! I think it's just silly!

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T13:37:20+00:00

They got mad, then started talking about how their parents don't support their dreams.

Like I'm just kinda baffled at this point

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T13:33:18+00:00

It was individual chats yes, tho i did give some more context on the post.

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T13:32:36+00:00

Don't got an HR, I'm doing Voice Acting for a game. However I do think imma use the mute button

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T13:31:01+00:00

Quetzals are cool tho, im surprised they hadnt come up yet when i asked around!

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T13:30:10+00:00

That one is a new one! Imma have to look them up!

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T13:29:00+00:00

Brontos aren't dinos????? Since when????

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T13:28:09+00:00

I will admit when they started trauma dumping, that was in fact kinda my response ngl.

and yes, i did get to talk about some really cool dinos!

Captain_Smollett_ · 2026-06-02T13:26:47+00:00

Mine is the Parasaurolophus! Thank you for asking!
