I was just going to ignore this obvious bootlicking, but this part, right here, needs to be called out;
Let me be absolutely clear about something; you do not have the slightest fucking clue how autism works. I don't even care if you personally are autistic; that just means you're an autistic person who doesn't have any fucking clue how autism works.
Autistic people are highly emotionally responsive. In fact most of what we struggle with is the sheer fucking intensity with which we feel things. The idea that we're emotionless hyper logical robots is a bullshit fantasy pushed by badly written fictional stories that use autism as some kind of superpower (and usually as an excuse for a male protagonist to get away with being a total asshole towards everyone around them; especially women).
Your comment entire comment is basically a shrine to "reasons why this person should shut up forever", but in particular I'm going to recommend that you never breathe another word about autism for as long as you live.
And if, somehow, you are an autistic person who believes this shit; get therapy.
Please quote the part of my comment where I said that autistic people are "Highly emotional."
Actually, scratch that, I'll just skip to the part where you can't, because what I said was "Highly emotionally responsive," which is not the same thing.
While it's true that this is technically incorrect because there are exceptions to everything, I'm not going to apologize for failing to write my comment on a forum to Oxford University essay standards. My generalization was true enough for the purposes of the remark, could be easily understood to not be covering literally every single autistic person ever because people are infinitely complex, and was not propogating any harmful stereotypes that I am aware of, unlike the comment I was responding to.
