I won't quote the post that spurred this entry--or the approving(!) follow-up, but I have to say: we aspies can easily earn a reputation for cruelty, smallness, or indifference all too easily. Having a social deficit is no excuse for mocking other disabilities; the first is a given, but the second is a choice.
It's not that I expect us to be saints--God knows I'm not--but we fail ourselves when our abilities to observe other people and things without mercy aligns with a viciously accurate, witty jab, that tells a truth foully, and with unknown intent.
It's a serious error to underestimate the effects, not just on NTs, but on other aspies.
'Nuff said.
