Personally I have no problem with his (or anyone else's) support of autism. It is a very worthy cause to support.

But really does he have to slam one group of people to do it? Is that really worthy of being posted on DU (inspite of the OP's open recognition that he is a libertarian)?

What am I?

I am a teacher
I am an academic
Yes, I am MBA
I am a doctoral candidate
and I have a learning disability

Frankly, I am sick of people on DU who deride those who choose to get an education.
