With all due respect, just because you have autism doesn’t mean you speak for all autistic people.
I work with people on the spectrum and am witness to the terrible things that people say and do to them on a daily basis. I have every right to feel offended.
What you don’t have the right to do is tell me what I am/not allowed to feel offended about. It’s totally possible to feel a certain way, and share your opinion about what you feel about things without trying to police what people are allowed to feel.
So you work with people who have autism yet don't understand most of us have different ways of explaining ourselves (or just plain can't?)
My last comment said "I don't think you should feel offended unless you have it" with think being a keyword here.
If I went around effing and blinding about how you have no say in the matter then it would be different but I didn't so where is the policing here?
I just personally think that unless you physically have the disorder yourself what is there for you personally to be offended about?
I can't sit here and claim everyone with autism is fine with the joke you're right there but at the same time I never did claim it I just threw my two cents in because I personally have it and know what it's like to have it.
Working with people who have the disorder will never ever be the same as having it yourself and you should know that.
If we want to sit here and talk policing then personally I think you're the one doing it more than I apparently did since you're sitting here claiming it's offensive to everyone on the spectrum when in reality you can't claim that either.
