Balls is calling you out for your behavior. What have you done here except pick on people for standing up to it?

Many people who are actually on the autism spectrum (such as myself, though technically I was diagnosed with Aspergers a long time ago) don't want your help.

I'm continually annoyed that I actually have to say "autism spectrum disorder" to describe MYSELF, lest I be called politically incorrect.

Many just want to live a normal life, and having other people (with no vested interest whatsoever) rushing to our "defense", is quite honestly more condescending than OP's original comment.

Many, sure. But all? And even regardless of the answer to that question, I don't think that's a good reason to not call someone a jerk for being a jerk about it.

I don't like PC Police who run around with "Bully" on their poster as a backup. It makes me cringe.
