That’s outrageous. Just outrageous. Makes my blood boil. Sadly it’s all too common for people randomly say that so and so is “autistic”, first of all it’s not even a proper term. Someone might have autism spectrum disorder, they are not “autistic”. In addition why are they diagnosing??? They using diagnosis (real or perceived) in offensive manner.

Sorry I am passionate on this topic and can’t tolerate this. Sorry you had such nasty neighbor.
