Every single time that a famous person tries to blame their sexual harassment/sexual violence on autism, every single autistic person who has experience sexual harassment or sexual violence from within the autistic community screams a little bit louder into the void.

In truth, many s.assailants do not understand the wrongness at the time.
Sometimes you do have to remove a problematic person from society. It's also often harder to do that than to communicate.
Oh sorry, I was yelling at him, not into the void. I can understand the confusion. If someone could also shove him into aforementioned void, that would be excellent. thnx.
I don't know if I'm the only one, but whenever you have someone use it as an excuse like that, it sort of always makes ME feel bad?
And I agree. Autism does not excuse bad behaviour. We sometimes have to be understanding of reasons for bad behaviour so interventions can work but the person doesn't get off the hook for causing harm.
