Chris, Peter may be back at some stage and obviously I'm not speaking on behalf of him or anyone else.
I sometimes get impatient with Aspie advocates who seem to forget that there can be real harm in people not being able to interact well with their environment.
To me, it's like what Russell said - there is sometimes real damage you can't ignore. Totally missing the tone of a thread and doing the same thing again and again after clear and consistent disapproval from moderators is sadly sometimes incompatible with being part of a community.
That community - and in this case also the owner of the discussion space - is bound to respond. Only human. Not much different to being banned from a bar for being a nuisance to others or the manager. Offending community standards, whatever they evolve as.
I do admire the sense of fairness we folk of the spectrum have (even though it can sure cause problems of its own). And I'm not going to second-guess how much I really get community and how much I've learned it. More fun that way.

"At this time, we are working with the FAA and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to investigate the incident..."
It wouldn't be the airline that pressed charges. I can understand aviation authorities taking very seriously anyone being airside unauthorised, so I imagine they'd arrest first and negotiate later.

It's only disorder if it can't find a socially acceptable direction. Which means 'disorder' is a social construct wrt autism.
Totally, and I'm very interested in changing that construct

I'm not going to stand still just so people can see me clearly
Dancing might help with that
you could actually be a master of social situations, and yet still well on the spectrum
Like quite a few aspie women, apparently

Unless there are also negative bonus points for dancing while filling out the answers :)

I'm not exactly standard-issue either
No, and 10 surprises me

analysed every second question and queried the probability of situations and the accurateness of the way questions were phrased/worded
you get at least 10 bonus points for that

Sasha's 26 is not her age
1 of 3 correct :)

She Bop really is
He's right you know

You smooth operator
Regretting missing party even more now. Timing.
Does that mean Sacha will make it too?
Yes, and woohoo (unless someone pays for me to be at the AutismNZ conference in Welli with Hilary and friends, which seems pretty unlikely).
They're always generalisations, but the MyersBriggs seems quite on the mark - ENTJ, borderline ENFJ.
Being on a good dancefloor is just a liberating thing
Pure joy (when fit). Oh, and 26. Unsurprised but would welcome questions about stuff like dancing, not just numbers. Bloody stereotypes.
