I had a big long reply typed out, but just as I was doing the final edits, my phone glitched and rebooted. I do appreciate the fact that you're discussing instead of dismissing, and I think that's the single biggest thing that's missing from the discourse around this: The total lack of discourse around this, outside of the autistic community. Laws don't account for the needs of autistic people, and being pretty private and non-social as a group, we are rarely involved in the decision-making process. I am told to go to city council meetings, but this is a highly unaccommodating venue for an autistic person -- especially one such as myself, who has been repeatedly and severely physically and verbally abused for misread social signals in one or both directions.
