Sunil does realize this, as do most of the others on Vision2020. Your
behavior makes it obvious. Further, we are aware of your Asperger's.
It is our awareness that makes your behavior problematic.

You know that there is a high likelihood that any miscommunication is
yours, and yet you consistently fail to take this into account, unless
you want to use it as an excuse, as you are doing here.

I have suffered from Asperger's for longer than you have been alive.
I am sympathetic.  However, Asperger's is manageable.  An important
step in managing it -- maybe the most important step -- is resisting
the temptation to use it as a justification for misconduct.
