Dear Larry,
Thanks for the reply it helps to clarify your original point. Can you
explain in further detail what you are trying to say in the two replies
earlier in the discussion before the post I sent earlier.
Especially can you explain in more detail why do you consider that the
list has one set of rules for some people and has made little attempt at
understanding where you are coming from.
I am also interested in giving further arguments why you believe 'there is
discrimination in academic circles against people with a different
neurological basis.'
I have AS myself so this is a debate which I am particularly interested
in, so that is why I am interested in you expressing your argument as
clearly as possible.
