*cracks up laughing*

This is in response to a comment that, apparently, my view of the world (which she believes to be erroneous) is entirely based on the fact that I'm "only 21"

I love the part about how autism does not form a cloud over one's social judgment. Maybe I'm wrong. It often happens. AM I wrong in saying that this is bullshit crap?

Edit: I just checked the DSM. Asperger's/autism requires, among other things, a "lack of social and emotional reciprocity". Wouldn't that entail problems with social judgment?

I don't find that my autism "forms a cloud over my social judgement". On the contrary, it seems to me that neurotypicality frequently 'forms a cloud' over the social judgement of NTs, who have no notable history of being able to get along peaceably with one another.

Unfortunately, the majority does tend to rule, so saying that just makes you sound wrong. Even if you're not.
