The danger here may be obvious: It may be the people most capable of passing for normal, the most obvious “success stories” in the eyes of non-autistic people (some of whom became so adept at passing that they were never considered autistic in the first place), who are the most likely to burn out the hardest and suddenly need to either act in very conspicuously autistic ways or die.

Okay who the hell is csweepigirl? Because that’s a quote from me. Direct quote.

I’m really sorry that I gave credit to the wrong person! I got it from an article here: http://americanaspergers.forumotion.net/t542-help-i-seem-to-be-getting-more-autistic-article  and I assumed that the person who posted it was the one who wrote it.

Oh good I hoped it was something like that. I’m not really mad I just had a WTF moment. I’ve sometimes quoted someone with full attribution and then had other people assume I originally wrote it so I’ve been on the other side too.
