Terra Vance posits that Autistic people experience empathy and emotions differently because the way autistic identity is structured differs from non-autistic people’s identity constructs.
I‘ve not related to something this much in a long time. I‘ve been treated as a traitor for this so often all over my life. I can’t believe that someone actually has a theory about this that is not esoteric in some way.
You're viewing a single thread.
This is why I said to a DEI person at work who was annoyed by my refusal to self-identify: "my identity is not yours to construct, and I will not be labelled for your convenience."
Thats interesting! I have never heard of DEI before but google says it’s supposed to be an improvement (which it probably isnt?).
What’s the idea behind you identifying yourself? I assume adhere to some arbitrary models of pathology?
