Fun fact: many of the arguments over the autism “epidemic” are the same leveled against lefthandedness over the years. Broadly, that something is wrong with “them” and “they” need to be socialized (i.e., stigmatized/punished) to be more like “us.”
It turns out that 12% of us are just lefties and once we stopped fucking with them everything leveled out.
