Go and read!
Note: This does not apply just to Autistics, although most of the list is written by Autistics so if you have anything to add, feel free.
Or if you want to have a discussion without encumbering an already cumbersome document, feel free to post here.
EDIT:There's a new final-ish draft that I think looks pretty spiffy: aspergersquare8.blogspot.com/2009/08/checklist-of-neurotypical-privilege-new.html
