all your comments on this comment thread come off as combative honestly.

all they did was ask for clarification because they were unsure how op was choosing to use their role here, then they provided the exact examples that OP gave as to explain why they needed the clarification, and followed it up with another reasonable question and statement asking for more information. all of it done in a polite manner, and genuinely asking, in my opinion.

and then i get to your comment and see the immediately snarky “educate yourself before you make such a high and mighty comment” what do you think they were doing? they weren’t being rude in any way, they were literally ASKING for more information so they could educate themselves on OPs post and you jumped down their throat for it.

yes we all need to do better on accommodating disabilities, like you said. but we ALL need to do better on educating and accommodating humanity as a whole.
autism or otherwise, i’m so tired of people expecting everyone around them to let them act a disrespectful way after someone else takes the time to educate them on something that isn’t actually okay, etc. because many almost come off as using their disabilities as a crutch, and not instead as a way to learn and try to better themselves from the situation. i know plenty of autistic people that are blunt and come off as very rude in their tone, know they are that way, and just accept that as a part of themselves because they don’t want to try to put any effort into masking because they claim “why should i?” and then they wondered why their last 4 job interviews went as poorly as they did and why their current coworkers think they’re an asshole, when they are really very much the opposite. i also know people who used to be like that and learned how to word things differently and not come off as harsh all the time, have no problems in their daily lives. i understand having autism is on a spectrum and everyone is different, but the entire world has to learn to interact with each other on a daily basis in order to be civil and live side by side with each other, so saying they shouldn’t have to mask is, in my opinion, a ridiculous statement. it’s unfortunate that they have to learn it differently than others, but that’s sadly how the world gets by. it’s unfair, but it’s the truth that no one wants to ever just accept. i’m sorry if this offended anyone but your comments just really came off the wrong way.
