It was an interesting interview. One thing I took from the interview is that Lucy has been only or mostly exposed to the censorious “woke” wing of the ND movement which is understandable as she is a college student. I think if she joined WP she would enjoy our discussions and learn things. She would be exposed to older autistics who are too experienced to sugarcoat autism. She would read the wide variety of experiences and opinions here and I believe she would enjoy that. I do disagree with some of her characterizations but I prefer explain them to her.
