Who are these "other people" who aren't gonna take me seriously?
You're creating these people in your head hadron. Complete bullshit.
So what is someone with Klinefelter's syndrome? A man or a woman? (in your expert opinion)
Male - ask the experts if you like. Having a Y chromosome makes someone male. People with XXY are referred to in general as male.

PMSElle - I'd like to "grab a coffee" with you someday too, if that's what they're calling it these days
Well as I actually have a lot of contact with real people, have set up and ran two very successful autism awareness events (which involved quell-surprise talking to people that need winning over, along with a good lot on our side). Who have you actually talked to? You really have no experience and no clue.
As for Aspergers, we have to define it as people who are unable to fit in, rather than just as eccentric. There has to be a compelling reason why people cannot fit in and yes the social expectations that people with AS cannot meet should be lifted. Though when people like you revel in being the pariah for no good reason, it is a lot harder to persuade people.
I don't get it. I truly don't get it.
I try understanding the reasoning of people. And often it has a logical coherence I can grasp. Even if I don't share the starting points. With you, I don't get where you start, I don't get your 'logic'. I try and I try. There is no-one here on the board I find harder to understand at least a bit than you. Probably goes both ways, that's OK.
What is so difficult to understand? I put the cause of AS well above the LGBT stuff, namely the other group are asking for an artifical lifestyle choice (yes gay culture was invented), we are asking to have some freedom to be who we are to a reasonable extent. Political capital is finite, if it gets wasted on LGBT stuff, it detracts from our cause. The effects are very real, 3% of us live independently, most of us do not get the support or acceptance we need. All thanks to most of our lot being lower down the agenda and not standing up with some self respect.
Comparing apples to oranges.
Since when is someone being gay robbing support of someone being on the spectrum?
In politics, a finite amount can be done. When political capital is being spent on say letting gay people give blood, it is being wasted. That capital could be being spent on us, instead it is being squandered on pandering to the gay lobby. All this is to our detriment. Not difficult to get. There is a queue and we need to be a lot higher in it.
Since when is being gay a handicap? Or being trans? It is a social challenge, and that should change. It's ridiculous that it is a social challenge.
It is a tiny social challenge, unless you
choose to make it one.
If the world is more open to all kinds of diversity, there may be more places where autistics can fit in.
Society was a lot easier for us to fit into socially 40 years ago, social expectations have mushroomed in both quantity and variety. All it does is make it harder for us.
Autism is a handicap for some/most of us, not by choice, just matter of factly.
Where as being gay is a social handicap by choice, hence should be at the bottom of the pile for being dealt with. Finally, you are getting somewhere.
Not in every aspect of life neseccarily, but in some aspects. It also is a huge social challenge. And that should change, but not by smearing people that are different from the way you want to present yourself.
So your grand plan for changing it is what exactly? I have done a lot more than you have for the cause and it is a damn sight harder if our membership are convincing each other to miss the point and go on wild goose chases.
