   @icedquinn "Diversity and inclusion" just means "fewer straight white men" and we should really just start treating that phrase, and all stand-in phrases for it, like fighting words.

     @galena in my experience the "diversity and inclusion" people are the absolute worst. they have some mental model of what ASD is and compare everyone against it and ultimately decide nobody matches it. believe all women's made up molestation claims but yet people have the gall to present aspies medical papers on demand.
     
     and.. yeah. its amazing how cruel people are when they don't get their "ego strokes."
     
     i guess its an artifact of people project themselves as the model for everyone else. i've noticed people can't handle if you try to talk about similarity of behavior patterns or fundamental differences between people--this also baffles the artificial psychologists because we *know* that engrams have a universal representation and because of this everything has similarity metrics but to actually try and cogitate that is mind blowing

     @icedquinn honestly i feel like people expect autistic people to perform far, far better than regular people despite, like, all of the issues associated with being autistic, literally just because of that dumb autistic savant meme. like people expect anyone who's autistic to just be some emotionless super genius who's perfect at everything but also just a bit socially awkward, and when autistic people dont fit this literally superhuman mold it's just like "lol, lmao, get fucked, you don't matter". like oh hey turns out autistic people actually feel emotions too and aren't literally just robots, what a fucking surprise, but no, having some difficulty displaying emotions means you literally cant feel them and dont deserve to receive them

     @galena yeah it's pretty tough when you never feel loved. there's also nearly zero coverage anywhere. there will be like one doctor character who speaks weird and they'll call it representation.
     
     Stitchers actually had a pseudo-autistic protagonist but they scratched the concept by the end of season 1 and had some handwave excuse why she was 'cured' now

     @icedquinn literally every autistic person I know well enough to have confide in my has expressed suicidal desires, and I know it's a relatively small sample size but still

     i wonder how many autistic people hate living and just don't talk about it
