The neurodiversity movement is not harmful to those with higher support needs. Thinking of the autism spectrum as linear is misguided and not helpful.

Isn’t this similar to the reaction people had to queer history when it was first talked about? We don’t have to diagnose people but surely we can at least discuss people who thought or behaved in similar ways to ourselves in the past.

I’m going to have to disagree with you on this. The community is just working with the language that they currently have. Itself not perfect but getting consensus on a new term is not easy and the ADHD community has a different relationship with the neurodiversity paradigm.

It’s like that time that they did a study on autistic people by measuring their blood pressure and other things and concluded that we’re all really stressed. Meanwhile autistic people were like ‘you could have just asked us’

The fact that they didn’t distinguish their bigotry doesn’t mean that it was not transphobia as well as homophobia.

You definitely can be racist to white people. Eastern European people face racism in other European countries, for example. It’s true that ‘reverse racism’ doesn’t exist. Racism is just racism.

GC fanfictions are ridiculous. Homophobic bullying is often combined with transphobic bullying even if the victim is not actually trans. I highly doubt that a 12 year old experiencing homophobia would see being trans as an escape instead of putting a larger target on their head.

I think it’s a eugenics thing. The kid in the top image is a potential arsonist because they come from a line of unpleasant people despite their parent’s efforts to break the cycle. It’s saying the only true way to break the cycle is to not have kids.

It’s also notable that while the Spectrum 10k website uses identify first language, this grant application uses person first language. If they were really listening to us, they’d use it in all circumstances, not just when they’re trying to get us to sign up for something.

Show us where they used the term bisexual, if that’s the game you want to play. Elagabalus wanted doctors to give her a vagina. That seems pretty trans to me.

Yeah some medieval theologians thought Jesus was basically born with the mind of an adult because he was God. This changed towards the end of the Middle Ages with depictions of child-Jesus being more childlike becoming more popular.

I think that’s why reclaiming our diagnoses is important and undermining their self-granted power of diagnosis by self-diagnosing. We get to define ourselves.
But you do need to be careful about getting an official autism diagnosis as it can be used against you.

We aren’t suffering from the way our brains are wired. If autistics are suffering (sans any other medical conditions) it’s usually to do with the way society reacts to us or the fact that society wasn’t designed for people with brains like ours.

A big issue with the ‘autism has increased in the last couple of decades’ narrative is that it is actively trying to erase older autistic people.

We had assemblies advertising the various cadet forces given to the whole school on the initiative of sixth formers. Assemblies on pronouns and gender are a good idea. Well done to the students involved.

What’s more likely, there’s a worldwide conspiracy involving thousands, if not millions, of people to cover up the fact that vaccines cause autism, or vaccines don’t cause autism and people are making illogical assumptions due to emotional distress?
