It's funny, all the Geminis I've ever met are more like ADHD. They are all very changeable, unreliable, highly sociable, often very self-centred.

Is this satire?
I’m a Gemini and am the opposite of those traits. I do have ADD, though.
Astrology is built on anecdotal evidence with, perhaps, some confirmation bias as well.
It has been debunked over and over again.
Nope. It's just whenever I've met people who are hyperactive, unpredictable, constantly changing...it always turns out they are Geminis! It is quite uncanny how it happens. There is no other star sign I can immediately spot

Coincidences do happen.
You’ve just now met a couple of Geminis who don’t share those traits.

I guess I have! I'm still very wary of the ones I meet in real life though

Astrology is not supported by facts, evidence, research, or science.
I’m equally wary of people of every “sign.”

I'm not sure what to say tbh. It's just a thing I noticed, could be true, could not be true. I observe things, and move on to the next thing

I don't actually think star sign has any bearing on autism whatsoever, tbh. I'm a Scorpio for example. My daughter is an Aquarius. Another I know is Cancer, another is Libra.
Yes, it doesn't.
Sociability and personality doesn't affect severity or support levels. It just affects that -- being sociability.
I met plenty of severe and high support autistics who are more sociable and outgoing than me.
It just affects behaviors that can be read as severity (how worry-inducing because of social participation) and support levels (how convenient and needy).
I just happened to hate worrying people and being an inconvenience.
And I can afford enough to push myself to make it so. If I hadn't, I might've killed myself a long time ago.
Heck, even I have plenty of positive socialization in childhood -- still autistic. Still asocial. Still prefer my internal world over the external.
My 'severity' doesn't get better. My reactions to it does.
My language skills more so -- verbal learning and thinking are still the same unnatural internally compensating resource-draining route since I was in elementary.
It gets worse with age, despite practice (my job this pandemic basically being a secretary)
It must be how masking and faking being an NT feels like.
Except mine isn't about illusions of passing as socially appropriate -- more like an illusion of having the ability to verbally express and comprehend more than I could.

Yes me too! My parents were VERY sociable. We had lots of parties, holidays, day trips. LOTS of socialisation practice. Looking back, I was well loved. I was 'that quirky girl' and just accepted for who I was.
As I got older though, people weren't so forgiving or accepting. I became 'that weird woman' and ostracised.
And so it has continued for the rest of my life. Especially as everyone is too busy socialising online to be bothered getting to know 'that weird woman'.
I've just accepted it now. I am Rapunzel, trapped in her tower, watching the world go by.
