I got on Reddit today because I was bored, boo, I have no idea why I ever visit that site.I know there are people dunking in the comments, but this thread being entertained whatsoever is mind boggling to me. Would my life with schizophrenia get better under Communism? Sure. But “solving neurodivergence” is some of the most absurd shit I’ve heard from leftists in a while
The neurotypical brain is hardwired to detect, detest and shun people with autism. They can literally tell within seconds of looking at us and they treat us accordingly. Socialism will not change that
I hadn’t seen this study, thank you for posting it. It figures. I honestly have no faith that any revolution of any kind will make things much better for us - frankly, a society with tighter social bonds, as communism might require, may even be worse in some ways. Not having the pressures of capital would admittedly be nice, it might end up evening out to being roughly equivalently awful.
The only idea I have at this point is just. Separation from NT society. But since nuerodivergent people are evenly distributed throughout the population with no particular geographical groupings, that’s never going to happen.
Let me guess, they’ll detect autism and try to groom us from birth to make menial labor our special interest, and then we do all the undesirable jobs that have been chosen for us? After all, we’re too stupid to make our own decisions.
That’s it, isn’t it?
I mean, the capitalist approach is to identify people with autism and groom them into being sports gamblers and Funko pop horders.
Then you tell them they need soul crushing careers in finance, sales, and logistics in order to cover the cost of their habit.
Getting folks engaged in more socially productive careers (autistic or otherwise) sounds more attractive than getting them addicted to consumerism and threatening their high to squeeze them for their labor.
Shit like this post and your comment is part of why I have no fucking faith that communism will actually make things any better for people like me. God forbid autistic people express that we would like to have basic self-determination, god forbid we be annoyed by the endless cavalcade of ableist NT idiots and assimilationist fucking ingrates who are incapable of getting their collective head out of their collective ass and realizing that not all autists, perhaps even most even under the pressures of nuerotypical society that shoves assimilation into our faces at every fucking turn no matter where one goes, WANT to be like a fucking nuerotypical. Why can’t autistic people simply be raised like anyone else? Why the fuck do we have to be targeted and funneled into ‘socially productive careers’, go fuck yourself.
