I'm sorry if my comments have upset anybody (I was the one who drew the black-white analogy). As an Aspie, I often find myself wading in and saying things which, although true (I believe), might not have the desired effect in the wider context. I hope I wasn't simply rubbing in a point that had already been made enough times, I just thought maybe my analogy might make things a little clearer. There's a lot of anger in the AS community about being labelled as ill, and it's not always easy for neurotypicals to understand. I hope we all learn from the experience and can still respect each other.
