this has broken me. It makes me wish that more people had AS, that someone with AS was in charge of UK schools. We tend to value fact over opinion. The Holocaust has been tastelessly exploited for propaganda purposes, certainly, but that doesn't make it any less, you know,
REAL. Truth is truth.

Nah, I don't buy this elitism crap from either side of the fence. AS people are different from NT people, but humans are still humans. You really cannot speak in generalizations; An AS saying "we value fact over opinion" could be countered by an AS stating the psychological fact that those with ASD's are more likely to be immersed in an imaginary realm or have an imaginary friend.
My point? We're all people, and we all do some stupid-ass stuff. But to announce a foolish sense of superiority over those towards whom you feel disdain because of their
own ignorance is simply mind-boggling.
