This really irritates me.

Women who want to use AS as an excuse for their abusive husbands abusing them.
I find this very irritating for a few reasons. I would include men as well but I have not heard from men in similar situations who are trying to do similar things.

1. They are looking for a way to make it ok in their minds that their spouse abuses them.
2. In the process of doing so, they mis-characterize those with AS.
3. They are attempting to absolve the guilty party from personal responsibility.
4. They do an injustice to the millions of men with AS who would never hurt a spouse.

People do tend to rationalize a situation to make themselves look like the victim and I've seen this in many cases. In a way, it justifies them not having to face responsibility so they can walk away with a clear conscience, even if they have to generalize and stereotype an entire group of people.

Well theres also the part where AS men turn around abuse the s**t out of a girl and then use AS as an excuse so its all okay... right!!
Ive come from an abusive broken home... my father may actually have autism... hes never used anything as an excuse to abuse the s**t outta me n my mother. I left hoem for 2 years but im so low fucntioning i cant make it on my own so i returned home to the hell i call a tin can on wheels!!

Sometimes situations call for the a woman to stay with or around an abusive man...
