There’s a line from Lora Wing in one of the papers I looked up that had lived rent free in my head since then, where she didn’t think people with ASD were capable of actually having insights into their special interests, as she thought they just possessed superficial understandings of the subjects.+

And the “self-advocacy” groups at the time were shit. Everyone denies this now, but men with ASD (the diagnosis was prob 90% male at the time) populated the incel fora.+
Neither approach is helpful, but what I know is that, when I needed them, those men on the ASD fora told me that I should flash my tits at men to get them to do what I wanted.+
After all her endless whining about trying to enter online spaces to get men's support and not having it, I offer support and she says, "Please shut up. I don't need a sad man." She just opined about it!
She just wants to lash out. Zero point or pattern.
It's worth noting that men are expected to be aggressive. Not everyone wants to be! I certainly don't.
What's frustrating here is the magnification of Internet forums as some be-all, end-all that we must have used/ infested.
That doesn't mean Zwit gets to make stats up when she feels self-pity, and it definitely doesn't excuse her from being an asshole and passing it off as autism. She's being quite a hypocrite.
