Note: I apologise if this should go into the Autism Politics, Activism, and Media Representation forum, but it felt like it didn't *quite* fit there. So one of my pet peeves -- to put it mildly -- is when autists or autistic behaviour are described as 'robotic' or 'like a computer'. I find it infuri...

I don't really have anything add. I just wanted to let the OP know that I have the same issue, so you're definitely not alone!

If p is analytic, the question, 'Is it the case that p?' is close...
