Psychology, as an establishment, by and large, is about putting a veneer of scientific legitimacy over forceful enforcement of societal norms. Within living memory homosexuality was a diagnosis in the DSM. There is no truth, only power. Kids have no power, so its always "on the autism spectrum." But when they grow up and have prestigious coding jobs with money (and the associated power), all of a sudden they're "neuro-diverse" or "a bit eccentric".
What's the difference between Mark Zuckerberg and an Aspergers diagnosis? A billion dollars.
- Der_Einzige 4y agoGlad to see genuine anti-pschiatry advocated here without the other anti-scientific bullshit that is posted along with it. Most forms of "therapy" don't work either, especially CBT. Also, don't even get me started on the fact that this group is STILL obsessed with Freud, psychoanalysis, and people who believe that humans have Oedipus and Electra complexes.
