I’m high-functioning autistic myself, but her mouthing off on the subject totally lacks in class.
I’m autistic too. And all I can think of is what a witch with a capital B.
The problem with what she said is that whether he is or isn’t doesn’t solve her insinuating that somehow those with autism are inferior to others.
I absolutely loved Dr. Watson’s wedding reception in the British Sherlock series (Cumberbund), where Sherlock described himself as a high functioning sociopath!
Never have understood body language (or taken subtle hints) myself. I’m not offended to be called autistic, or Aspie ... or dad, or senior engineer, or boss.
Do Aspies think out of the box?
LOL ... box? what box?
