	This is just my demand in the form of a suggestion for how I would advise we all move forward with the wiki at this early stage, and I think this speaks to a pretty crucial consideration regarding the feasibility of this project. It is inherently difficult to write a "how-to guide" to life, because there are really NO firm rules when it comes to human socialization (that's what makes it so frustratingly difficult!)

In order for this wiki to best help autistic people, I think it is vital for us all to try our very best to respect each other's unique contributions. Just like I bash the cisgen males and use many forms of stereotypes which I say I'm against, in order to prove my points throughout this wiki. Please don't be like me. YOU need to be accepting of all people.

	With that being said, I do not feel it is helpful at this time, in MOST circumstances, to delete someone's perspective just because it conflicts with one's own. Rather, I think we should make an effort to use language which implies that "your mileage may vary," as opposed to absolute statements such as "do not do X." When there are disagreements (which will be inevitable moving forward!), perhaps we should avoid simply deleting the perspectives of others (unless those perspectives are CLEARLY harmful and factually inaccurate - I am not sure if that applies to a suggestion about following up on job applications). However, anyone should feel free, and I would in fact encourage people to contribute differing perspectives. When posting conflicting information, we should try to be respectful of each others' differences. I think that it will be vitally important for this wiki to demonstrate that ALL perspectives are valid.
