They can manage it, but it's still there under the surface because no matter how it's rebranded, it's still a disorder. And you can call it ableist all you want, but you're still conflating a disease that affects the very core of a person to a skin color. But go ahead and hide behind that new -ism.

Yep, autism is something you're born with that you can't rid yourself of, much like your race. So being attacked because of either is unfair and should not be done.

You did it again. You're comparing a medical condition to a race. How on Earth are you justifying that in your head as not bigoted? You can hide behind all the isms you want, but you're still the one saying that black people are like a disease (and yeah, the International Classification of Diseases says it's still a disease. I'd figure you of all people would sooner opt for international standards rather than American ones).
