Nobody is talking about the ‘middle’, or even lies. Most people are at least partly wrong or mistaken about most things, but there are usually some things they are right about. There is value to be gained in finding out what another person

Yeah - I’m just not sure what useful work the term ‘harder’ is doing. It just compares two things in a way that seems irrelevant, and mostly harmful. It does take ‘effort’ to clean your room if you are depressed. But that has very little

Frustration with something is not the same as being ‘against’ that thing. If you are against it and you don’t have a solution then you are simply destructive.

The “root” is likely to be trauma or bad experiences in your past. E.g. bullying, poor parenting, divorce, poverty, neglect, etc. there are many many possibilities. It’s pretty easy to have these kinds of experience and not be sure how the

It seems like you are simply agreeing that only some autistic people are disabled, and so autism isn’t a disability or disease. You say people at the “extremes” are disabled, but that’s not true, because there are “extreme” savants who are

I don’t see how they are unrelated at all. It sounds like you are saying they just don’t ‘feel’ like the same thing, but I see no reason for that other than racism.

Nobody said it’s not closed. You claimed everyone agrees it’s hard to leave. That’s simply false.

So what? I don’t owe you anything. I’m simply pointing out that you don’t speak for everyone.

The commenter uses cancer as an analog for autism. That implies disease. It’s not a neutral comparison, and it’s not my bias that introduced the concept of disease. If you think it’s possible to make the same point without reference to a

> What they were said to lack was the ability to read people… That’s not a fact. It’s a now discredited stereotype.

by zepto 5y ago
Yes, which is why we only qualify it when we are implying it is a possibility. Your comment doesn’t make you look stupid or casually dismissive.
260.
by zepto 5y ago
No. You presuppose autism to be a disease, like a tumor.
261.
by zepto 5y ago
It’s not clear why you are disagreeing with me. More autistic isn’t the same a ‘severe’.
262.
by zepto 5y ago
Yes. The fact that you have to qualify that the ‘neutral’ trait isn’t ‘necessarily’ bad implies that you think people might think it was bad. You wouldn’t need to qualify it otherwise.

Sex is almost always unambiguously defined, despite there being exceptions. There is no problem with having biological categories. It is not controversial in science that humans are a sexually dimorphic species. To claim otherwise is defi

The point here is that autistic people who prefer this term don’t think it has anything to do with mental health or disease, and do think it’s a fundamental aspect of who they are, which can’t be separated.

> I suspect the fact that Autism reduces a person's ability to relate emotionally and socially to themselves and others This is not a fact. It’s a now discredited stereotype.

by zepto 5y ago
Sure, but the point is that the thing that is ‘severe’ isn’t ‘autism’. An autistic person can be severely disabled, but the disability is itself a trait they only some autistic people have, so it doesn’t make sense to call the disability ‘
