I have two 2xe sons. One of the metaphors we came up with is that they aren't legless lizards who need a bunch of prostheses to replace their missing limbs. They are snakes and they need to be allowed to travel by slithering, as they were intended to. Adding prostheses would be an active hindrance to their ability to be themselves. Hopefully, the neurodiversity movement will come up with better ways to convince people that they are different rather than broken and with better framings for how to help them interact effectively with the rest of society without trying to force fit them to some mold of "normal."
