To steelman your point, I believe you're saying that an Autistic person may have difficulty not "being an asshole" due to lack of understanding or awareness of how you're interactions with others may be perceived. Therefore, while the rules try to be inclusive of autistic people, they are simultaneously exclusive by requiring a level of social awareness that may be impossible.
Is that correct?
- dijit 3y agoThat is exactly my position, thank you for articulating it so eloquently.
- argiopetech 3y agoI'm glad. I appreciate and understand (viscerally) your point, and I don't believe it is deserving of the backlash that you have received. Hopefully my restating will support a more intelligent conversation, or at least earn you a fake internet point or two back.
- CoastalCoder 3y agoYou might want to update your original comment to clarify. It seems to be getting downvoted by people who misunderstanding the comment.
- dijit 3y agoUnfortunately I cannot edit it, but downvotes are ok. as others have mentioned, this topic is probably not a worthwhile one to bring up as the focus is on mourning one of our own.
