Lighten up? There’s obviously context we’re missing, and the image was created by an org that works with children. I’d imagine the comparison with animals is to help neurodivergent children have a sense of reference if they aren’t emotionally aware. It’s also pretty clear this material isn’t made to help neurotypicals “understand & accept” us.
I’d like to refer you to all of history for what happens to marginalized groups when it becomes culturally acceptable to compare their behavior to animals.
You do you and whatever, but it doesn’t matter who made this or with what intent, it’s still comparing neurodivergent behavior to squirrels and beavers.

It genuinely doesn’t matter to me, I’m just pointing it out.
It’s not really a fact you can just “point out” though? You’re pointing out that an analogy is flawed, it just seems pedantic…
