If you’ll excuse my subhuman hyperneurotypical cognitive Luddism, I’ll wait till you actually create the next iPhone or prove P!=NP before according you the superhuman behavioral allowances you obviously deserve. I’ll even apologize for mistaking you for an ordinary asshole then.

My sympathies and benefit of doubt allocations here have swung around 180 degrees since this topic first popped in the zeitgeist. There’s just too clear a pattern in the kinds of people seeking accommodation, and the behaviors they want get-out-of-jail-free cards for.

And of course we all know actual non-neurotypicals who badly need accommodation will be the ones to suffer because of assholes trying to pass. Celiac’s sufferers vs fashionably gluten-free all over again.
