Bouncing around and grimacing etc can mimic neurodiverse stimming, but many neurodiverse people don’t think of themselves as disabled so that statement in itself is problematic.
If the poster meant it wasn’t okay to laugh at Ruby doing that as it mimics learning disabled people, well Ruby isn’t learning disabled so it’s okay to say it looks weird
I would also like to add that years and years ago, Ruby, herself, said many people have asked her if she is autistic and she outright said she is not. Also, I don't remember her bouncing off the walls when she was younger and filming videos for her channel. See her early ones. A show off, yes, boaster, brat, yes. But she didn't post herself stretching her smile until her lips look like they will split. She didn't film herself spinning in fields or lying down in her yard in a nightgown as a grown woman, or literally bouncing off the walls because she was with her "favourite person". So, either she lied to us, which I don't think she did, or, as I said, she is just weird!
I have numerous friends who are autistic, various degrees on the spectrum, each one quite different. But none of them feel shame nor deny it. Those who were diagnosed early are very used to it, those who were diagnosed later on were relieved as it explained some of their feelings and behaviour that they themselves were concerned about. In fact, I have found them eager to share it with me, so I understand their boundaries, abilities, and challenges. Many of us, here on this forum, have agreed that if Ruby was on the spectrum and told people, many would be more understanding and supportive of her. It would explain a lot. But she isn't. Her own words.
I firmly believe she picked up these bizarre behaviours from other YouTubers, as most of her actions are (the claw, for example), because she seems at a loss for who she really is, what her own personality is. She is constantly mimicking others, picking up other people's behaviour, copying other people's videos for ideas, etc.. It is childish and one that stems from lack of self-identity. She has spent a lifetime focused so much on pretending and aesthetics from social media, that she hasn't the slightest idea who she is or will be. At this rate she will still be trying on "identities" until she is in her grave. Anne of Green Gables, Coraline, Matilda, A Little Princess, Emily Dickinson, and so on. But never Ruby Bones. Ruby Bones doesn't even exist in her mind. I wonder what she would be like, if she didn't have access to social media? I would imagine she would do as she did as a child. Mimic people in movies. Hermoine Granger. Ruby Granger. There you go. Perfect proof. And now at 24 years she still clings to the Granger name. So does her mother. I see where she gets it from. A pity neither of them can just be content with themselves.
how is she so goddamn inept
