The non-autistic professionals have failed to help people with autism. Their assumptions about the behavior and other syndromes are always a logical non-autistic and always wrong. The only way we can care about autistic people is to find a city in every country designed for autistic world, ruled and governed by autistic people. The daily sufferings of the autistic people in this non-autistic corrupt world in unbearable to the honest, sincere, and human people, the autistic people.

hmm, I’ve met some heirachical, impatient, demeaning, using, abusing non-spectrum people. I’ve also been stalked, trolled, harrassed, demeaned by narcissistic, self righteous, fanatical, fixated people who identify themselves as being on the autism spectrum and probably have personality disorders but confuse it with AS or have it in addition to AS. I also know four diagnosed adults on the spectrum who have been pathological liars (and admit it), and one who spent many years in jail for continually and deliberately committing crimes. I also know many on the spectrum who have been caught out having affairs, live with gambling or substance additions etc so clearly you must have meet only the ‘good uns’ ;-)
