Interesting that the only discussion of autism in the article is a tangential mention of those who believe in a connection to vaccines. What is to happen to people who are not neurotypical in this brave new world of be nice or be exiled?



We're doing just fine, thanks. Autism doesn't cause a lack of empathy. We're perfectly capable of seeing things from other peoples' perspectives. It's just that certain viewpoints/mindsets are aggravating from an aesthetic standpoint, which is why many don't learn to tolerate them.


I don't think you should be speaking for everyone who is not neurotypical, please.


I love this notion of others’ viewpoints or selves as aesthetic objects and will definitely, in one form or another and for one purpose or another, be stealing it.
