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 …

Not sure I like the framing of "pride in my autism is pride in resistance to societal norms." Good things to be appropriated from ableism rhetoric but I don't like being slotted into a narrative of 'resistance' and oppression. Interesting history. What's the beef with Silberman?

Bog-standard post-2010 socjus missionary "journalist" applying the usual religious rhetoric to autistic people, where it's a particularly problematic fit. He's not helping. Also I just find him repellent.

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.

I really liked Sparrow's point about 'non-compliance', which among other things cuts to the core of why we're generally ill-served by shibboleth-based goodthinkers.

Somewhere or other I've written about 'sangha privilege' -- the bundle of social benefits that come with having a group's shared culture and belief structure. Well, that's something that's not going to work for us, and it's tragic to see some autists struggle for it anyway.
