Well, that's a rather inauspicious start to April!

When confronted with somebody using both "wheelchair-bound" and (ugh!) "person with autism" in the same post, I took a second to point out that both terms are generally dispreferred and you should, when referring to people whose preferences you don't know, try "wheelchair user" and "autistic person".

I actually have a lot of practice saying that in a fairly neutral and non-aggressive way.

To which I got a snippy reply back about how I shouldn't assume everybody is malicious and - dude. Did you think a second before you said that? If I thought you were malicious why would I waste time replying?

Also, I don't know why you included a number? I included a number because I was quoting an entire bullet point from the page you linked to. I assumed that was obvious, because of course you must have read the entire page before linking to it and asking if the information was accurate. I simply excised the part of the page that sums up exactly what I've been saying.
