For the record, I am also a person with autism. I am "writing it off" because the author writes in a way that suggests that their experiences represent all people with autism, but I feel that they do not represent me. I am not saying that the author's opinion is not valid. I think that it's a perfectly reasonable position. What I'm upset about is the tone the author chose to use to convey their point. (Edit: I find it ironic that I'm writing this, because the author has written articles saying they're upset with Autism Speaks because the tone in Autism Speaks' materials don't agree with the author's experiences.)
