I am "on the spectrum" too, and nobody gives me any leeway for that either.

Not that I *want* leeway -- the point is that it's possible to learn,
and that if it's significantly more difficult for RMS, he can talk to a
therapist and learn that way (which is what hundreds of other people "on
the spectrum" end up doing, and they are much better off for it!).

Meanwhile, there are plenty of people who suffer under RMS'
"leadership", and they do not deserve that.
