I’ve never met an autistic person whose “behaviour” wasn’t completely logical once you understood their needs, their history, and their nervous system.
We’re not confusing.
People just aren’t listening.

Very much this! Been a permanent (and tax!) resident in RoI for 15 years. Wife and kids born here. Am able to (and do) vote in general elections but STILL not allowed to vote in presidential elections or referanda.
It would be way more important for non-Irish citizens who reside here in Ireland permanently to have a vote. I'm here over 30 years and not once was I able to cast a vote in a general or presidential election.
