Hey. Nice to see you too. It is a site that has been developed by a person who has been dx'd with autistic spectrum disorder.
He got a little fed up with the judements regarding 'lack of a theory of mind' and 'flat affect' and 'lack of empathy' etc so he created the website to put a slightly different spin on things.
He talks about how others have a delusion that they can mind read and so forth. The quality of the critique varies a little across the different articles... But there are some valid points. Shows how easy it is to 'medicalise' others...
I've encountered a number of sites like that over the years... That one is one of the best I've seen, however.
