So, as someone who doesn't know much about autism, let me be a little politically incorrect here and play devils advocate.

How do we know, on a forum such as this, whether someone is single minded because of some medically recognised syndrome or just because they are an obstinate SOB trying to stir people up. (There is more than one person on here who is probably more single minded than is socially acceptable.) And should we treat them differently if we did know?
I like to think I take people for what they are and treat them accordingly. If someone is a pain in the ar se they should be treated as a p.i.t.a. If they are 'normal' treat them in that way because they deserve it, if they have some syndrome - well, how else are they going to learn to fit in?

There, that should win me some friends - not.
