If I had the choice to eat more than 15 foods, don't you think I'd have taken it by now?!

The meme pushes back against narratives that frame autism exclusively as a superpower while ignoring its disabling traits, with the post title referencing the common autistic experience of having an extremely restricted diet as an example of these struggles.

This is a two-panel reaction meme using screenshots from the 2019 Joker movie's talk show confrontation scene. The top panel features Robert De Niro's character Murray Franklin with overlaid text asking 'IS AUTISM A DISABILITY?'. The bottom panel shows Joaquin Phoenix's Joker character looking over his shoulder with overlaid text responding 'IT IS, AND I'M TIRED OF PEOPLE SAYING IT'S A SUPERPOWER'. The accompanying original post title references the common autistic experience of having an extremely limited range of safe foods (only 15 foods) as a concrete example of the disabling aspects of autism that are erased by the popular online narrative that frames autism exclusively as a positive 'superpower'.

This meme was originally shared on the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, distributed via RSS. It adapts the widely used 2019 Joker talk show two-panel meme template, which is commonly edited for both humorous and serious social commentary content. The post pushes back against harmful ableist narratives that minimize the struggles of autistic people by only highlighting rare positive 'savant' traits as a universal 'superpower' for all autistic people.
