There seems to be growing abuse of self-declared non-neurotypicality to excuse treating others badly, or worse people arbitrarily designated “neurotypicals” as unenlightened subhuman hive-mind drones who mistake your enlightened X-Men geniusing for assholery

The handful of obviously outlier non-neurotypicals I know well personally, without exception, take great pains to avoid inadvertently hurting others. This makes me somehow skeptical of self-serving incivility. I have a nasty, suspicious mind that way.

If you’ll excuse my subhuman hyperneurotypical cognitive Luddism, I’ll wait till you actually create the next iPhone or prove P!=NP before according you the superhuman behavioral allowances you obviously deserve. I’ll even apologize for mistaking you for an ordinary asshole then.

My sympathies and benefit of doubt allocations here have swung around 180 degrees since this topic first popped in the zeitgeist. There’s just too clear a pattern in the kinds of people seeking accommodation, and the behaviors they want get-out-of-jail-free cards for.

And of course we all know actual non-neurotypicals who badly need accommodation will be the ones to suffer because of assholes trying to pass. Celiac’s sufferers vs fashionably gluten-free all over again.

It’s not about you except to the extent you’re making it about you. I don’t know you at all and have no usable model of you from twitter.
