I've been noticing that a number of folks on the autism spectrum have jumped on the social justice bandwagon, throwing around SJW buzzwords like "ableist" a lot. As an aspie, I feel a little frustrated with this trend, and it is one of the reasons I've been distancing myself from my condition lately. Since I know at least a couple of others on this forum are on the autism spectrum, and Shane has even mentioned that his son is autistic, I'm wondering if anyone else here is bothered by this trend.

^QFT. Yes, I have noticed and yes, it annoys me. Hell, it bothers me that so many furries are not just leftists, but SJWs too. Tumblr SJWs. Ditto for folks with ASD.
I like you Feathermoon an Aspie and an Expanded Universe fan! two things we hav ein common already.
It baffles me that so many Aspies do so much double think!
My autism tends to make me analysis everything I see, even stupid commercials.
Though, My ADHD may contribute to that.

Even more painful when the aspie in question prides himself on not committing logical fallacies...only to see him spew verbal crap in the form of state worship and SJW bogosity.
