And neither is anyone who’s neurodivergent “perfectly rational”. That’s not a helpful stereotype, all on its own, without any characterization of our emotional capacity or supposed prioritization of whatever mode of thought.
- Brian_K_White 4y agoWhat they said was factual enough. What they did not say was anything more than that. They are not guilty of anyone else's (your) embellishments.
- eyelidlessness 4y agoWhat did I embellish?
- Brian_K_White 4y agoEvery part of your comment was an accusation based on your own embellishments. They are not guilty of claiming or even implying that all neurodivergent are purely rational. You produced that yourself, and said it's wrong. Well, true it is wrong, and they are not guilty of saying that. Your comment was in response to theirs and not in a vacuum, and so the most reasonable interpretation of your comment is as response to theirs.
- eyelidlessness 4y ago> accusation I specifically said I didn’t think it was intended. > They are not guilty of claiming or even implying that all neurodivergent are purely rational. That’s not what I thought they said either. They said that “perfectly rational engineer (read: human being) doesn't exist outside of a select few neurodivergant folks”. My objection is that no person is perfectly rational, neurodivergent or otherwise, and identifying even a select few as such might reinforce the stereotype even unintentionally.
- eyelidlessness 4y agoAlso when did I say anyone was guilty of anything? I should probably stop coming back and rereading this response and wondering why what little I said is being construed as the opposite of what I said.
