Silberman's a worthless, pompous carpetbagger, but the other half of this interview is worth reading. Just skip everything he says. http://www.thinkingautismguide.com/2018/04/on-hans-asperger-nazis-and-autism.html …

In that interview, he seems particularly focused on how we should be just totally squicked out all of a sudden by words like "aspie', because of the 'new' connotations. But autists generally don't give a shit about stuff like that. For all his blather he doesn't get us at all.

There's a particular kind of obnoxious trope in autism "activism" where a bunch of beaming normies in brightly colored t-shirts surround one autistic kid who clearly doesn't want to be there. Normies making themselves feel good and using the autist as decoration.

He uses autists as a decoration for his politics, and his politics are harmful to me.

Treated as a totem to be waved at enemies, useful only inasmuch as you suffer... which will incidentally happen much more often in a world where highly sophisticated social skills are seen as necessary to be a good person.
