Writing about AS people.. six things

Post Reply New Topic

Perhaps its just me and this writer, though I bristle at the way the concept of "special interests" is applied by NTs of all stripes in a derogatory, invalidating, isolating and (to my mind anyway) ignorant ways. It's a particular example of how they pathologise difference from the standpoint of a dominant majority.

That's really a neat article, B19, and quite worth reading! Thank you for bringing it up. I love the writing style.

Miss Dunn is autistic and I think she does a fine job opening the way autism works up to people, without the biting sense of offended minority that comes up far too often on this website.

Enjoyed that, and it's always good to read of others dispelling myths about autism... Thanks for sharing this ...
