| I agree that it is morally wrong to identify as something you are not be it autistic or black etc. There is nothing questionable about it, it is just bad.

| While I disagree that Autism can not be both a significant disability and a identity I wish you good luck. While most media attention of late is focused on level 1s most of the research is still directed at level 3’s. IMHO that combined with until recently level 3’s had nearly all of the attention ... |
