@sanau: Yep.
I've went round and round with the clinicians and shrinks I know about this for a long time and finally got them to understand. They don't write the textbooks and such, but it's something, I reckon. My therapist and shrink told me I genuinely changed their minds and their approaches to working with autistics. (It was a struggle and sometimes got quite heated.)
@thedisasterautist The mental health field would refer to this as "lacking theory of mind" — if they weren't too busy projecting that diagnosis onto us, that is.
