I do still have objections to the use of the phrase “Ambassador of that culture”. It comes way earlier in the document than the later qualification, and I am not of the view that the equivocation renders it moot. The entire piece is about t

Ok - I appreciate that motivation and believe you. The impact however was the opposite, since it just seemed like an attempt to contradict my perceptions. I also felt less heard since most of my comment wasn’t even about the ‘call out’ pa

Can we? Why did you feel the need to correct me on what was happening? Does it make the discussion more substantive?

Well for one thing, I didn’t see you use the phrase ‘call out’. That was the author. I thought your comment was quite reasonable, but as soon as they jumped in to characterize it as a ‘call out’, it became something else. If they want to

That seems like advocacy for eugenics, and integrated education, neither of which are good, but it’s not obvious how it would prevent the formation of community amongst the deaf.

If that comment is intended as a ‘call out’ then it’s not going to receive a response. This site is not for ideological bullying. I wonder if Dan meant it that way, or whether he was just engaging in the discussion normally? As you are th

Yes, which would have stood well on its own, but was negated by “I’m coming to you now as an ambassador of that culture.”

Yup - they could have easily said “I am a single autistic voice offering my view. You should listen to more autistic people and fewer neurotypical people when trying to understand autism”.

I think this is valid. Intersectionality may make sense as a legal theory for scrutinizing patterns of discrimination in industrial relations. This is where it originated. However, it tends to be used as a theory of personality too, despit

Why should people need an excuse not to live up ‘standard’ societal norms? In any case someone can be wrong about having autism, but not wrong that they have a particular challenge that others do not.

by zepto 5y ago
It does makes sense, sadly. I’m surprised people are seeking diagnosis just to have the label. What actual benefits are they getting?

There are different kinds of intolerance. Some people have mild allergies to gluten, which is very different from celiac disease.

by zepto 5y ago
Ironically many autistic people seek to avoid or moderate attention rather than craving it.

by zepto 5y ago
That explains how you know about yourself, but it doesn’t explain how you know that the others seeking diagnosis are not autistic. It seems like a bad idea to stigmatize people for seeking diagnosis. There are plenty of stories of actually
