Would love some feedback as I'm trying out political content which I normally don't like to do.

Where's your bowtie? I hope it's a real one and not a clip-on.

I would expect you to make such a comment, Mr Prometheus... and you're entirely right.

My experience has been the opposite. I have run into many more people insisting people use “person with autism” the people insisting people use “autistic”

I've had experiences like this on more than one occasion. It's why I'm trying to not think too much about politics anymore. It's hard to process when the media tells you one thing but your experiences are almost the exact opposite.
