Asperger's/PDD

One of these days people will learn that the First Amendment applies only to the government and it does not preclude consequences of ones speech.

Yep, the First Amendment allows any person to speak their mind and not be constrained by the US or state governments.

It does not mandate that there should be no consequences for that speech. It does not mandate that private entities cannot take actions against a person for their very public statements.

One has absolutely every right to say what they believe. One does not have any legal or Constitutional protection from the fallout due to one's statements.
