There is no absolute way to prove what OP meant.

You're right - there's not. But if you can concede that there's no way to know what she meant, why would you jump to the worst assumption on what she meant and call her an asshole for it?

I went back and read it again. Her secret reads: "I have not and will never ever believe anybody on the internet who says they have autism." Not "I have not and will never ever believe anybody on the internet has autism." Conceding your point that there's no way to prove what the OP meant, her phrasing (though slightly awkward) is highly indicative that she simply meant she didn't believe anyone who said they were autistic was actually autistic. Especially when the only time they claim autism is when they're being called out for unacceptable behavior.

But I'm sorry, I know I'm just splitting hairs at this point. I appreciate you expanding on what you thought in such a reasonable manner.

Because it's so much more satisfying to get offended and feel morally superior than to admit the other side may have a good reason to feel the way they do.

You're mistaking a different interpretation as jumping to conclusions.

Not really. In this case, they're the same thing.
