Please quote the part of my comment where I said that autistic people are "Highly emotional."
Actually, scratch that, I'll just skip to the part where you can't, because what I said was "Highly emotionally responsive," which is not the same thing.
While it's true that this is technically incorrect because there are exceptions to everything, I'm not going to apologize for failing to write my comment on a forum to Oxford University essay standards. My generalization was true enough for the purposes of the remark, could be easily understood to not be covering literally every single autistic person ever because people are infinitely complex, and was not propogating any harmful stereotypes that I am aware of, unlike the comment I was responding to.
