I don't really understand half of this, but based on what you say, I don't feel much like reading the offending article, so I'll just say I have no issue with autistic people at all, and sometimes wonder whether I might be one of them. That's why I find the negative narrative about neurotypicals in some posts quite difficult, in the same way you feel hurt by some of what you read. Because both types of negativity are tarring whole groups of people with one brush, largely unfairly a lot of the time. Not saying that's you, but there's a lot of anger out there. And whether typical or divergent, everyone's different. Hang in there. It's nice to see you're back. I'd missed your posts.
