    So if someone doesn’t have a document signed by a doctor stating that they are, in fact, different than the norm, you can be an asshole to them for being different from the norm? Go fuck yourself.

        Looks like everyone here shares either my interpretation or a very similar one. If you truly feel misunderstood, you should write better instead.

          Is poking fun at friends and family really so entirely out of vogue that I need to explain further? Sincere question.

              Kinda, yeah. I thought I was in another community entirely.

            So you’ll just continue being ignorant somewhere else? You really need to check in with your behaviour around other people.

              I behave as is contextually appropriate without issue and offering my two cents to an online autism support group is just… not. There is a fair amount of subtext missed or misunderstood, given this setting and audience, and I’m not looking to offend people searching for support and camaraderie with hyperbole taken literally. Anything else I can say would appear patronizing or offensive, but suffice it to say that I’m genuinely not rude in person.
