I get that. 🙂 I say what I mean too. Assuming that all undiagnosed autistics have ableism and class privilege also comes across as aggressive. It may not be true. But maybe we just need to disagree on that.

Maybe if they are more able than you, they really are subclinical, and therefore wouldn't get an autism diagnosis anyway.

Incidentally, I found her book in a charity shop for 50p. Does that strike you as either classy or privileged? It just struck a chord, as did autism.
