True, you are my correct, my apologies for my imprecision on the matter. I suppose I tend to lump it all together as in my view the particularities of why the nuerotypes we recognize as Autistic occur - be they genetic, derived from environmental conditions in the womb, or literally just pure behavioral stuff that was learned in childhood or otherwise - is ultimately an irrelevant factoid, something that ought not be researched at all. What matters, in my view, is combating nuerotypical oppression, and ‘we’re all on the autism spectrum’ stuff is poison to that goal because it denies that autists are even different.
A denial of difference goes hand-in-hand with a refusal to accommodate and an expectation of assimilation into nuerotypical behavioral patterns, imo, so I tend to go rather hard against such language.
Oh, fuck off. Schizophrenic people are almost never violent against anyone but themselves - advocating for the forced imprisonment of schizophrenic people in any context is completely unacceptable behavior for anyone who wants to call themselves a communist.
There’s no need to hero worship this guy. It’s not like his actions actually accomplished anything anyway. Adventurism is bad, and I’m not shocked that this guy had idiotic positions on ableism and nuerodivergency.
