New verse, same as the first

Someone on Tumblr left a complaint on one of my posts, in which they went on about how the shy Darcy reading I was discussing (as wrong, but understandable) is so objectionable because it means Elizabeth is not just very mistaken about him, but mistaken about "a poor little shy/autistic man."

Damn, my days of discovering that people who throw fits about autistic Darcy headcanons usually turn out to be seriously gross about autism are certainly reaching a middle.

(My post and the post that inspired it were not about my autistic!Darcy headcanon and did not mention it in any way.)
