Sorry, I didn't mean to cause any offence with "that user".

It was just intended more as a shorthand, like with terms like "OP", but I can see why it might be considered rude, and I do need to start using usernames more often. I know that your comment probably wasn't referring to that, but it did get me thinking and I thought I owed you an apology, as it really is akin to "that person" in RL and could have been replaced with a name.



In regards to the statement, I can see why others might take offence, as it's somewhat irrelevant and could be interpretted as negatively saying 'x behaves this way, so they must be autistic', but - equally - there are certain symptoms of autism and autistic people do share some common traits, like hyperfixation and difficulties in communication, so I can understand what you meant.

It's just one of those things, but I do think the reactions a bit OTT from others.

Wishing you well and hoping it boils over soon.
