> I have to ask you first, **BrainGlutton** , have you given this a lot of thought? Do you know any autistic people and what they think about this? Do you have experience caring or advocating for people with developmental disabilities? I ask only because I don’t want to give you a lecture you might have heard or to get on high dudgeon about an opinion that’s just reflexive.

[shrug] Wiki calls [classic autism](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism) a “disorder” – and, all three conditions on the [autism spectrum](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism_spectrum) “neurodevelopmental disorders.” This is honestly the first I’ve ever heard of any dissent on the point.
