I am forwarding this comment I recieved off list as it betrays this
individuals one sided perspective
As a comment on my lifestyle it is entirely inappropriate particularly as
anyone with any understanding of Asperger's syndrome would realise that we
do not partake in social activities with the same fanaticism as neuro
typicals, as I have said, our brains are wired differently.
This is a gross insult to me and ableism of the worst kind. It is a value
judgement passed from one gruops perspective of what "normality" is. This is
at the root of what all this is about. My computer is to me the equivalent
of a wheelchair, it is the means by which I participate in a wider society.

Such as sit in front of a computer screen on a Saturday afternoon? How sad.
