I feel like "autistic" may be the sole case in which wide (and improper) use as metaphor -- compare "crippled" -- does harm the neurodiverse.

- samatman 7y agoI disagree that it's the sole case, and also fail to see the relevance: Sarao is autistic, according to his own defense attorneys, and y'know, he probably is. It's kind of a sensational thing to add to a headline, but that's how headlines have always worked.
