People forget that being autistics does not replace our choices.
Being autistic and being an asshole are two separate traits. Being abusive and being autistic are two separate traits.
They can exist inside the same person. We make choices of who we want to be.
Fuck Neil Gaiman.

I know "autism isn't an excuse" is a bit of minefield for a lot of autistic people, often for good reasons. But I would kindly ask my fellow autistics to take a breath before reacting to any appearances of that phrase in the next while. Because Gaiman has tried to use autism an excuse.
