    Having someone who is very very likely to be on the spectrum (but undiagnosed) look me in the eye and say "[something or other] is for autists, you know, r-------s" was very telling. This is a person who could have used some assistance (personal or professional) making it socially, but that sort of attitude caused them to quickly be isolated from the people who would be willing to help out.
