on neurodiversity politics

it's good. i think it brings many of the relevant topics into this academic idiom very well.

historically, every pluralist victory has been achieved not because it's the right thing to do but because that belated acceptance promises to put an end to the troublesome minority's clamor for equal rights.

there's not a chance in the world that NTs will actually come to consider themselves other than the custodians of consensus reality; they are newly confirmed by each effortless interaction, & begrudge even handicapped parking places when it means they have to park farther out.

we will be doing good to achieve the status of just another minority, colorful & empowered to have a putative say in how our lives can be minimally accommodated. our point of view in any particular discussion, though, will not prevail except by adopting the rhetorical tools & persuasions that an NT is able to respond to; it's a characteristically aspie mistake to rely upon unadorned logic. that doesn't even work on professional philosophers.
