So I wrote a post about the woman I called Diane.

Who’s “so NT that she’s actually in her own world and all the stereotypes of autism actually apply to her but only because she’s the total opposite of an autistic person”.  And thinks she can communicate with us really well and actually just overloads us into hell and then thinks she’s making emotional breakthroughs and shit.

And… I get a private message from someone (I won’t say who, I never reveal things like this) who knows exactly who I meant.

This always happens when I discuss her.  Even this long after the community was tiny enough for everyone to know her real name.  It’s really amazing.

Whoa. Is that one of the creepo therapist people you mentioned about on your other blog site? Why ain’t she fired? D:

No, she’s the mother of an autistic child, and she fancies herself an expert on autistic communication, while actually having more trouble communicating with autistic people than anybody I’ve ever met in my life.  Luckily, I haven’t interacted with her in years.
