I didn't mean to imply that at all, don't worry. I was just thinking about how my non-autistic friend puts autistics on a bit of a pedestal.

Scales seemed to think I had, so I just kind of assumed. At least it's a change from being called stupid all the time? :/

Yep. We tend to be of the mindset that if you don't want to see criticism of something you like, don't seek it out.

And if you go around calling a pile of shit a bunch of roses, don't expect us to politely go along with it.
