I think there are some people who think a person should be chased out because they can't stop attacking her. Get real. The problem is simply that you don't have the the brains and/or self control to walk away.

No, I don't think autism is a gift, but one can hate the condition and still appreciate the people who have it.

I think the world would be better off without it, if only because it provides the small-minded idiots that get their rocks off attacking others with more victims. But as with any adverse situation, people who are autistic have occasionally done some truly amazing things to adapt. I can appreciate that, even if I'd wish they never had to work so hard.
