The fact that you just aren't understanding what I'm saying is demonstrating my point. You aren't able to understand my point of view, and think that everything can just be solved by people working harder. It's the same kind of belief that says that depressed and anxious people can be cured by just thinking happy thoughts and touching grass.

Can you be more specific? Why cannot autistic people fit in with others? Is it that others recognise them as being different and exclude them? Or is it that there are differences in the way we speak or behave that make you uncomfortable? And if it is the latter, what in particular should we change?
