The autism spectrum

[BitBuster]

^That was a really good post, ManipulatorGeneral. Autism's definitely not an excuse for poor behaviour (and I know I've fallen into that trap, unfortunately). On the flip side, as you said, it's important to recognize it so that you can build off of that knowledge (rather than letting it strangle you). That's why I think it's probably a good thing to know where you stand on the spectrum, even if you think that it's just a label. That it may be, but there are implications that you can use to your advantage...
