The problem I have with people is that they use autism or learning disabilities as their argument when admins admonish them. Sure, it explains a lot, but does it excuse the sometimes months the admins tried to talk sense into that person? But like Emerson said, I wouldn't block someone for just being autistic - only if they continually make bad edits. However, I, like the vast majority of Wikians, am not a trained mental healthcare professional. They're fans with free time on their hand, not paid nurses or coaches to hold people's hands through every step of the process.

Editing a Wikia requires social skills, and if that's where you're behind, your Wikia experience can hit a snag.

I've asked Sannse a long time ago if she could have a staff blog with tips on how to best respond to people dropping the "A-bomb" on you, but she hasn't done it (yet) - because she isn't a mental healthcare professional either.
