Perhaps we should, but we should not stoop to denigrating or name-calling lower-functioning people.
Windscar15, ever heard the expression "Pot calling the kettle black"? Because it fits you to a tee. |
Sslaxx, I understand your point. Though the idea of promoting the "What type?" question is a good idea. I get really annoyed with people who assume they have any idea of who I am just because they know or know of someone on the spectrum. I'm me, they're them. For example they may like tinned fish, it doesn't mean that I do (minor example). |
