MODERATORS
Social standing is very important in neurotypical society and largely determines whether or not those people should care about what you have to say.
Autism puts you at a huge disadvantage; if you want to be treated as a equal by the NT folks... it's pretty important to ask yourself why that matters to you.
Better off finding some similar folks to connect with and not care about the neurotypicals petty judgements. They are often quite happy to be wrong as long as they agree with each other.
