KNOW THE SIGNS: Common Autistic Special Interests; listed categories: Anime & Memes, Technology & Machines, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Military & History, Photography, Plastic Model Making; Show you care. Be Autism Aware.
Overview
This is a two-panel edited meme using a scene from the animated series Gravity Falls. The first panel shows a close-up of two hands holding an infographic flier titled 'Common Autistic Special Interests', which lists 6 very broad common nerdy/geek hobby categories, each paired with a relevant icon, and carries text urging readers to 'be autism aware'. The text 'Woah.' appears between the two panels. The second panel features the character Dipper Pines grinning widely while holding the flier, with the subtitle 'This is worthless!' below him. The joke hinges on the fact that the list of 'autistic special interests' is so broad that it applies to a huge portion of the general nerd/geek population, making the infographic useless for its intended purpose, referencing the original title which refers to the infographic making overly wide, unspecific generalizations.
Origin notes
This meme was originally shared on Reddit meme communities as stated in the provided source information, with the original title 'Bit of a broad brush'. It uses a popular existing meme template taken from the Disney animated series Gravity Falls, where Dipper Pines reads a piece of paper and dismisses it as worthless, a template that has been widely edited for jokes mocking useless or misleading documents. The infographic shown in the first panel is originally sourced from content created by the educational creator simplepsychology.
