You could say that allism and other neurotypical spectrum condition can be a violent disorder but allistics would dismiss this as human nature but with autistic people, allistics blame autistic people. Also the notion of us having to 'know our place and failure to do so being labelled as an attitude problem are tricks that have been used by racists against black people too. :idea:

Nice necropost. But I'd agree. If a normal person commits a crime, then they themselves are blamed. If they are attacked violently by police for no reason, the police are blamed. If an autist does the same thing, then autism itself is blamed.
