How to confront/deflect rumors about you?

I think what the OP was saying, was that there are NTs out there who consider us to be scum based on their misconceptions of autism and aspergers.
NT's out where?
it is not their fault that they find me distasteful.
they are born as everyone is into their mind set that is governed by their brain architecture.
i do not care if any person or animal finds me unsavory.
it is an attitude that is locked within the walls of their skulls.
their ideas can not affect me in any way because my skull is impervious to the non existent signals that are supposed to emanate from the minds of other people.
if you are not tuned in to a frequency that a dissenter is operating on, then their dissent is never received.
anyway, there was a clip in a show called "peoples court"" and a mother was suing another woman because she left her 12 year old son in the other woman's care (the other woman was a nanny).
so the nanny was driving in her car with the 12 year old boy and an adult male friend of hers who had asperger syndrome.
she parked in a car park and went into the shopping center for a few minutes, and she left the 12 year old boy in her car with the AS man.
when the mother found out about this she had a breakdown apparently and she was suing for "pain and suffering" because her son was exposed to possible sexual abuse or even murder at the hands of a person who is not psychiatrically fit.
she was shivering with rage that her son had been exposed to such danger as being alone in a car with a mentally unpredictable misfit.
this is the kind of stuff that may make me cranky, but i just saw her as a stupid idiot who's ideas and beliefs are not important to me.
it is of no use to address people who are expressing incorrect or inferior assertions.
