Meh. There are stupid people out there. There are still people in the KKK. There are still skinhead nazis. I am not going to get all out of sorts over one isolated incident.
I think what Steely mentioned deserves far more of our attention. Funding for family support for autistic children is SEVERELY underfunded. A colleague of mine, also in IT, is married to someone else in IT, so they both make good salaries and they are going broke paying for their child's care. She said she feels fortunate that they HAVE jobs to pay for the care.. Her sympathy goes out to low income families that can't afford support. It's very frustrating for parents who have a child in desperate need of help and not being able to provide that care.
