For the avoidance of doubt, let me state that you didn't offend me, for two reasons; firstly, that you had edited out your crass comment about autism before I got online tonight, and secondly that I don't get offended by crass comments about characteristics or conditions being used as insults, whether the epithets could properly be applied to me or not. We have, for the most part, reached a point is society (and particularly on this forum) where the bandying of such epithets harms the person using them far more than it can ever hurt their target, intended or otherwise.
