One of the repliers has the following in his bio:

#ListenToNonspeakers

Beyond parody.

lol yep. "Non-speakers", "neuroatypical" ("neurodivergent" is the term du jour I'm seeing atm), "neurotypical," "differently abled."

The ones with the cognitive ability to use these terms get so bogged down in how they're completely set apart from almost everyone else they completely forestall any actual attempt at successfully integrating into wider society. If their autism-advocacy groups hadn't been coopted by the wokists they'd maybe have the sense to understand why research into ASDs helps them out in the long-term.

Switch autism with schizophrenia for more laughs.

"You need to include Schizophrenics voices in your research on Schizophrenia".

"Well, that's going to be easy, there's already like 50 in your head alone".

The best term? Neurodiverse. Apparently, 'neuroatypical' was not PC enough for them.

Too busy guarding the feelings of 'non-speakers'.

I despise their made up terms. Just call me weird, retarded, or creepy.

Her team's research can be read here: https://www.cell.com/cell-genomics/fulltext/S2666-979X(22)00063-5. Essentially, "mothers of children with ASD carry more genetic risk for ASDs than fathers."

This finding, of course, was ableist and ethically wrong or some such nonsense. I'm oN tHe SpEcTruM and things like this are why I have absolutely 0 to do with self-professed autists.

No archived nitter link for the OP because the snapshot didn't capture the autistic screeching. Click here if you want it anyway.

Probably because guys with autism have a much harder time getting married and having kids than women with autism do.

They say the autism genes aren't on the X chromosome, but doesn't mean it's not sex-linked. Women's brains are basically half one X and half the other X and it's possible that this has a moderating effect regardless of what genes are present.

Speaking as someone who was diagnosed autistic in the mid '90s:

Fuck that noise. It's a DISORDER. If they won't say it, I will. DISORDER.

Internet Autism and Offline Autism are different beasts, like how the Wuhan Flu is coronal, not influenzic, despite the name.

As an autist, these genetic rejects do not speak for me..

Or for themselves. The average mid to low functioning autist is easily manipulated and indoctrinated by any societal validation, which is why so many of them troon. Their opinions should be treated with the same scrutiny as those of a woman or a child.

Are we saying autistic women should be thrown out of the gene pool?

I'll say it.

If you've got hereditary genetic disorders, celibacy and sterilization are ethical choices; continuing to fuck about and bringing children into this world who will suffer the severe defects you passed on is a deep moral failing.

Autists are another group of fetishized crybullys.
