@Sibshops @Wikisteff @Andres @pikesley I am "on the autism spectrum" (that is, I'm autistic) and I can confidently say I would not score a point against Serena. I also find the typical male ego ludicrous and obnoxious, despite being male myself.

Now I'm wondering, why did autism get dragged into this?

I'm speechless.

@Andres @Sibshops @Wikisteff @pikesley That's odd, considering I'm the one who's autistic. :)

Apologizes for bringing autism into this. I'll edit my post.

@Sibshops Oh, yikes, put it back, please! The first way seemed like you might have had some interactions with autistic folks, or maybe might even be speaking from first-hand experience as an autistic person yourself. The new way sounds super ableist. I know you're trying. Let's talk about?

@hosford42 Yep, my son is barely on the autistic spectrum.

It wouldn't be out of character for him to say "I don't know" or "I don't think so." if I ask him if he would be able to get a point against a tennis pro.

I'll just delete my comment.

@Sibshops That's a common misconception. The spectrum isn't a fade from full-blown non-autistic to full-blown autistic. It's more like a color wheel, with twenty different hues of autism, none of which is closer than any other to being "normal". I look and act neurotypical to most people, until they get to know me better, so people tend to call me "high-functioning" or otherwise water down my autism, but I'm every bit as autistic as any other autistic person. What most people see as more or less autistic is actually more or less able to pretend to be normal.
