I've always held the belief that people use a disability to dismiss a person's hard work into achieving something. With aspies in particular, it isn't the hard work, it is the disability (so, I, as an NT, do not have to work hard because I do not have a disability and cannot achieve the same thing).
Just to be clear here, I am saying that's what some people think, not me.
I read this again and realize it might be taken wrong. Hard work is what produces the brilliance, not AS. AS might focus our attention on one thing, but we still have to work hard at it to become brilliant in it, and I think it is a crime that some people might dismiss that hard work just because of the AS.
