Thanks for telling me this.

What "causes" are you referring to here?

I hope I haven't made you feel like a “useful idiot” by occasionally encouraging you to join support groups (which happen to be relevant to a cause I fervently believe in, namely building the autistic community).

I suppose I’ve worded my posts poorly but you weren’t among those I was directing that statement to. It’s hard to explain exactly what the causes are without giving names because I am on my last warning.
