ableism towards autistic folks 

@pandora_parrot I'm familiar with the situation, yes. Which is why it should be a switch that operates both ways (i.e. the processing is done client side so you can force it off on your display)

However the argument in the thread of "I can't use this, therefore it's useless and should not exist" is in itself abelist and lacking empathy. Not being able to me eye contact effectively when separated can be just as emotionally aggravating as being forced into it.
