Not so long ago, somebody actually told me, “You can’t be autistic, you are so articulate.” I understand they thought they were complimenting me, even though tons of autistic people are perfectly articulate. Presuming we are not articulate (or are usually not articulate) isn’t just untrue, it’s an obstacle to understanding and accommodating.
