Frith also keeps talking about how "unscientific" our understanding of autism is because so much of it is based purely on *observations*. What the actual fuck??? *Science is observation*!!! That is precisely how you do science! You see how things work, notice a pattern, form a hypothesis, then observe more intentionally to see whether the hypothesis proves true *through observation*.
This whole article absolutely *reeks* of "society is broken, and breaking people every day, but capitalism doesn't want us to make things better for them, so here are all our excuses for why it's actually *wrong* for us to care about taking simple steps to improve society for a vast array of non-rich people".

My therapist recently diagnosed me with autism in connection with my need for short term disability leave from work. I hadn't decided how I feel about that diagnosis yet, nor whether I feel it to be true for me, but this article I think has pushed me over the line and I think I want to make it totally officially official now because this lady is off her fucking rocker. 5/5 end
