More autism stuff

I do see some real rubbish online. This morning, for example, I read an article describing how one should speak to a person with ASD. I suppose it was designed to be helpful, but I found it completely patronising. It reminded me of the political correctness crap, where one has to watch everything one says and does, in case someone decides to misconstrue your meaning into something horrible. I can't be doing with this dictatorial kind of approach. It's thoroughly nasty, and prevents healthy discussion, and inhibits proper debate.
There is only one way I want to be treated, and that is with consideration and respect. But then I suppose that's what any person would want in the first place.
