Oh for god....
My Daughter is autistic, eight of my best friends are on the spectrum, and most of them have told me that I have aspie traits enough that I should consider going to get a formal diagnosis. Absolutely none of that prevents me or them from carefully considering reasoned stances and adding new points of view to our assessment matrix. Please, don't use your diagnosis as a way to excuse being a condescending jerk, it makes the rest of us look bad.
