Das aktuelle Konzept ist zwar ok, ist aber auch historisch gewachsen.
Autism itself is one of my long-running special interests, so I read a lot of news, articles, and research on the topic. There were quite a few headlines in my news feed on the topic today, and after once again shaking my head in disgust at the pathologizing language of the researchers -- injection of value judgments and assumptions of superiority or "correct" ways of functioning -- it struck me:
>>> I don't remember the last time I made it through an entire article or paper on autism that *didn't* pathologize us, outside of articles actually written by openly neurodivergent authors. <<<
It's like the horrific racist tropes from 150 years ago. They just *assume* superiority, and everything else is built on that. It's absolutely disgusting, but nobody hears us when we tell them. I regularly email the authors and ask them to reconsider the impact of their words and assumptions, but I never get a response. The scientific community is every bit as intransigent as everyone else.

It's almost like years of being called typical has gone to their heads.

This tells me nothing, you half wit idiots!
A group of people are standing on steps in front of a building with a dark doorway. A person in a white shirt and black pants is speaking into a microphone. To the right of the speaker is a person in a blue polo shirt and black pants. Further to the right is a person wearing a gray patterned shirt and a dark-colored baseball cap. The speaker is wearing white shoes and a hat with the text "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" visible.
The speaker has a small logo on the chest of the white shirt. The person in the blue polo shirt is wearing sunglasses and a watch. The building appears to be made of light-colored stone.
