Do you guys feel like the representation of pretty white people (PWPs) with autism/adhd (or both) on youtube does not properly represent the experience of those of us who are not white?

Im not invalidating the white autistic experience. Im just telling you guys of my observations and inferences.

Im indian. Male 20. I live in australia. I in fact know of a few white males in real life and online who have autism and guess what? The majority of them have had relationship experience. And its shocked me horribly. I thought that there was something else seriously wrong with me. Why havent i in 20 yrs of life, despite numerous attempts, never made a proper female friend outside of a group work acquaintances??? Ive realised that these dudes did generally meet the features of being conventionally attractive in this society (e.g. tall, full head of hair (sometimes blonde), jawline, blue eyes, etc.). And it saddnes me that on top of being unable to communicate and build connections with people, I cannot even compensate with being attractive due to me being indian (which is heavily looked as one of the most "unattractrive" races to date), short and balding (yes im balding at 20). So now I have 2 fronts to battle with. The white dudes i was talking about were approached first most of the time by their partner/ex partner. Ive never been appraoched in my life. I have tried approaching women but it has not ended well lol.

Dating is not the only thing that is affected however. Like i said, from the white dudes i know online, they also have friends and are able to maintain employment. I dont understand how htey do it.

The only conclusion i have come to is that if someone is white, society has this stupid unfair innate bias towards them. If you unmask and be yourself and you are conventionally attractive, you can pass of as "quirky" or "funny" to an extent instead of being criticised for your autistic tendancies. But if you arent, if you dont physically appeal to people, you will be heavily criticised for any lacking social competence and unmasking will lead to you being accused of horrible things.

It would be nice to see more youtubers who are not white who have autism/adhd or both. Not everyone with them is a PWP.
