Yeah, this guy doesn't speak for persons with Autism. He's trying to make an 'autistic culture' thing, acting like his disorder is just a choice, a valid social model. Unfortunately autism is not a social model, it is a disorder that ruins lives.

The author of this article seems to be a woman, not a man.

Also, it's a lot easier to just use 'they' instead of he/she most of the time anyways, food for thought.
