I feel like if I were a celebrity I wouldn't be as openly autistic as I am now, so I can't blame others for doing the same

I hate to challenge you, but: Why not? In such a position of privilege you would be less likely to suffer consequences for being open about being on the autism spectrum, not more likely. It's the little people like us who suffer for being open about it.

Their position of privilege isn't necessarily their fault. I wouldn't hold famous people to potentially unrealistic expectations... Don't tell other people whether or not it's "okay" for them to do something nice. It's made less nice by your expectation, anyway.

Well, good news, I'm not tweeting at Stephen Spielberg or Dan Aykroyd and lambasting them for their lack of advocacy. I was asking a question and giving my own personal answer to the question. Maybe don't tell me what to do either, hon <3

Just giving my opinion. Sorry I offended you with my entirely rhetorical phrasing.

Sorry my opinion seems to offend you so much as well. <3

I actually didn't even know where you stand. I had genuinely assumed that you were making a counter-argument for the sake of conversation, and that your own opinion was undecided. Otherwise, what was this post made for, other than to argue and send condescending emoticons? :P

Mainly, to get *sensible* arguments as to why celebrities might not want to jump up on an autism-advocacy soapbox. "Because they don't have to" is a tautology that seems kind of unreasonable.
