Comprehensive explanation of how fucked up this is, from an autistic person instead of a mental health professional making money off stigmatizing us: http://thesubjectsupposedtoknow.us/talking-back-about-my-deficits-part-1/ http://thesubjectsupposedtoknow.us/talking-back-about-my-def... http://thesubjectsupposedtoknow.us/talking-back-about-my-deficits-part-2/ http://thesubjectsupposedtoknow.us/talking-back-about-my-def... The cost of having to go through life with people believing all of that shit is indescribable. Like, this stuff makes people die alone for real. This stuff makes people unemployable and untouchable. And it's a lot to do with the fact that "normal" people in our society have to be emotionally avoidant or they couldn't deal with how fucked up they're making everything on purpose. This is why emotional retardation is the definition of masculinity here. How can you dominate your slaves and have feelings at the same time? In olden times, autistic people were probably the clergy everyone else turned to for moral guidance because we can actually think consistently without making every last thing about ego. It's not autistic people denying climate change over not knowing how to be a person if business ever did something bad. I wish autism awareness would go the fuck away so I can explain myself to people instead of explaining why the authority on who I am is completely full of shit and needs their own therapy more than I do. True fact: I'm an autistic psychologist and I encounter people with godawful theory of mind all the time, every day. Probably half the mentalization problems in autism come from the trauma of what the normal people do to us, but it doesn't occur to anybody that autistic people have feelings to be traumatized about. Do people realize that the overwhelming majority of information on autism is highly pejorative, even stuff by autism experts claiming to be our friends? http://thesubjectsupposedtoknow.us/tony-attwood-and-the-neoliberal-subject/ http://thesubjectsupposedtoknow.us/tony-attwood-and-the-neol... http://thesubjectsupposedtoknow.us/darold-treffert-and-the-archaeology-of-hyperlexia-iii/ http://thesubjectsupposedtoknow.us/darold-treffert-and-the-a... Asperger's isn't a real problem. It only looks that way because the normal people have decided to base nearly all social interactions on avoidance and dishonesty because they're lacking in emotional resilience because they're raised by TV, which makes them feel bad on purpose. Our culture is based on being a sleazy businessperson and making a religion out of that. Autistic people watched the "good people" stand there and do nothing while they got bullied. We're not naive. This is a society where being a wife beater is actually less of an obstacle to finding relationships than having an autism diagnosis. The normal people want it to be middle school forever because they liked it there, at our expense. Try to spend a week and make note of how many things you see shit-talking either black people or autistic people. Now imagine all of those things are directed at you and that's what daily life is. Fuck you, too, normal people.
