And that's why the Autistic community is disliked and associated with lone gunmen instead of with reasonable people- it has its priorities wrong. They all need to learn to just suck it up and bootstrap themselves to where they need to be, and quit with the "advocacy" bullshit. They want special treatment and they should be for EQUALITY. Instead, they are anti-NT- wanting accommodations made that would never be afforded to us NTs, just so they can get jobs they're really just plain less qualified for than we are.
As an NT myself, I can say that I have never oppressed the Autistic community, and frankly I don't think the oppression is real- we've moved past that. Look at all the successful Aspies out there! Clearly, any problems people on the spectrum have are due to lack of grit and effort. They just need to STFU about how unfair things are and put their noses to the grindstone.
Agreed.
I thought Elle was being sarcastic.
I thought perhaps odeon was, as well.
Not really. I do think that the advocacy bullshit is just that, bullshit. The same goes with this whole oppression thing.
OTOH, the stuff about any problems we might have being due to lack of grit and effort, erm, not really, but by that time, I had decided I'd simply post "agreed" and be provocative about it all.
My real point was that we do need to harden the fuck up, which I said in another post.
