@serrebi@tweesecake.social @karlhigley@recsys.social I don't think they really compare, blindness is pretty unequivocally a disability, whereas autism is a loosely connected set of traits that can be both positive and negative depending on context and how they take form in an individual. When people say "cure autism", I hear "cure the potential to become a great engineer", because that is a lot of the same traits. It is debilitating for some, but to most the problem is society, we don't want a cure for simply being different
