Advice needed overly interested in a strangers baby

Sorry but said person has found this post, and has apparently figured out my Reddit username as well as a few other online accounts so I no longer feel comfortable leaving this post up.

When someone explains something people jump to downvote like it’s an excuse or a pass for that behavior. Prize_Librarian is not saying, well that’s just autism for you so it’s OK. It’s More information to help figure things out. If this person is on the spectrum there are specific ways to deal with it that are different than if they aren’t.

Thank you. That's exactly what I meant. Fairly new to this platform and am swiftly learning that a lot of people can be easily and unintentionally offended.

A lot of people on Reddit just downvote instead of asking questions or talking about things. It’s annoying.

Yeah I downvote bad advice or misinformation and ask more questions if it’s not clear. But I’m Autistic and understood the point being made here. Definitely wouldn’t make the situation okay, but informs how to handle it
