My point still stands. Apology accepted. There is no
aggression here. Just stating my piece.
I know I should leave this here, a minor and inadvertent offence, apologised-for. But I am autistic, as I said, and I find it impossible to ignore your
aggressive dismissal of a condition that you clearly know little about.

I'm autistic. My words are used
explicitly, and entirely without
implication. [

Your course differs significantly from mine; I wished (and wish) you luck on yours.

These days everybody claims a disease.
If you are intelligent enough to debate,you are intelligent enough to know what your words mean and how they come across.
I wish you well to,but I don't like excuses.
Everyone "
claims a disease"? Intelligence is not the only faculty one needs to follow the labyrinthine intricacies of human social interaction. Autism is not an "
excuse", it is a real and indivisible part of me, and anyone else who shares my condition. I do not have the necessary
equipment to conduct social interaction in the way that you are able to do, unconsciously and competently. That part of my brain is wired a little differently, and does not provide me with that invaluable skill. I have to do the best I can with what I have. I don't ask for sympathy, but equally, I would appreciate it if you would not mock or dismiss a genuine disability; life is hard enough as it is. Thanks.
