I have cheerfully borrowed coping bits from advice written for folks on the spectrum, though I think I'm not on it, because they're useful coping bits! But that's ... respect for the utility and thoughtfulness of someone's approach, not trying to belong with/to them, their modes of thought, etc.--whereas it sounds as though some of O'Toole's generalizations are from a wish for community.
