"But people with ASD can be excellent parents and partners if the other NT people are willing to speak our language and take our perspective as much as they expect us to take theirs."
Even when the other NT people are *small children* and therefore aren't *able* to take your adult perspective as much as every small child needs his or her parents to take his or her perspective?
I feel sorry for any baby you have. I bet you'd accuse them of discrimination against Aspie culture for having any emotional reaction to bad treatment from you instead of automatically going "it doesn't count because she has Asperger's" or "it doesn't count because it's part of her culture" ever since birth.
