What’s your take? I’m not sure if I know of an historic case of it like IDK maybe 200 or 150 years ago but nowadays I have several cases near of autistic people, so what do you think is old or new?

    Some quick extra bullet points as I’m short on time and much of what I want to say has already been said in this thread:

    • I strongly recommend Behind the Bastards’ 2-parter on fake autism cures (huge trigger warning for child abuse though), and just as strongly Rowan Ellis’ video essay on autism representation. Both could be listened to during chores or work. https://youtube.com/watch?v=WA9B4_e6sS0
    • If you’re making an intentional, good-faith effort to be kind and curious, then as an autistic person I deeply appreciate your showing up, and please don’t let the downvotes make you any less curious.
