Yeah, made me think the author pulled this article out of his butt. How does cyber bullying fit in with the Aspies sense of fair play? The Aspie characteristic of detachment is being equated with active intolerance of others. Doesn't add up for me. Pissed me off.
You seem to have missed his entire point, to summerise: "The word autism is being used in places where it is not accurate". He specifically said that people comparing cyber bullying to autism* were misusing the word autism and that its a bad comparison.
The link between cyber bullying and the economics / fair play was non-existent by the authors own admission: the article was about how the word autism was being misused, cyber bullies and economics are two separate and unrelated misuses.
Overall I thought it was a nice article, although I expected it to build up to an interesting conclusion, its entirely my fault for not reading the tile and realigning it wasn't really in my area of interests.
* The comparison may originate with cyber bullies who think asperger's is a nice excuse for their personality defects.
