I was going off the primary materials. It's pretty clear that you won't believe that being diagnosed with a disability (well, according to ada, or whichever word you feel most appropriate) means you can't dance and write wedding cards the same way other people do. Have you considered simply challenging the definition? Instead of all this big picture epistemology? You can change the culture so that dance for example includes that thing kraftwerk does. Then no one can laugh because the perception of what it means to be a dancer became more inclusive.
- gregjor 5y agoIf I felt disabled or excluded I would take dance lessons or learn calligraphy, like “other” people do. I’m not incapable, just not interested. That isn’t a medical condition. I’m not interested in quixotic attempts to change the culture. A diagnosis of something so vague and variable as ASD doesn’t imply specific disabilities, or an inability to adapt and overcome. It’s an artificial label, not an identity.
