Temple Grandin is a problem for #autistic people.
Her
"Stimming is fine as long as it's done at the right time and place."
and
"Autistics today don't find jobs because they haven't been drilled with proper manners like in the 50s."
kind of bullshit is SO harmful.

Frankly I'm sick of all these autism "support" groups telling people, hey, it's okay to not be integrated. Maybe it is, but you don't then get to rail against society for rejecting you. Yeah, learning to integrate sucks. It hurts. So does learning to ride a bike.

Or sticking with mainstream schooling. Or learning programming. Or learning horse riding. Or learning any damn number of things. You won't start out perfect, you'll fall off the bike, you'll have meltdowns, it'll suck, but it's no reason not to TRY, damn it.

And if at the end of the day you decide it's not for you, fine - but if you get to abdicate from integrating into society, society gets to abdicate bowing and scraping to your very highness.
