Well, you came here to defend another poster. Your initial address wasn't to the story itself, the poster in question, etc. And I even mentioned that even if he were autistic, it's never an excuse. A diagnosis is a tool for self-reflection, not a get-out-of-trouble-free card. So he's still shitty for using a diagnosis as a reason to be shitty. People are taking OP's story at face value because it doesn't warrant investigation. It's minor enough that even if he were lying, it doesn't matter. The story is banal enough that it's likely happened to someone at some point. It doesn't require the display of credentials or anything like that. And no one is asking us to do anything about either side. Dude was just sharing an anecdote. That's why people are taking it at face value. Because to do otherwise is to dedicate too much energy to something that doesn't matter.

Thanks for showing everyone that you bring ignorance to the table.

Whatever it's worth to someone else to tell a lie, it's worth to me to correct it. > So he's still shitty for using a diagnosis as a reason to be shitty. You're getting one side of the story and saying that doesn't warrant investigation. Empathy is literally the opposite of that. You do not have any reason to believe the friend was being shitty. OP didn't provide that.
