Pretty sure several Greek philosophers were autistic. It’s obvious from their writings. Tylenol didn’t exist then, so what’s the excuse there?
Oh wow, jeez, maybe neurodivergence has always existed. No, it can’t be that. Also, we just have to make sure everyone conforms because other people being ‘weird’ makes us uncomfortable.
Imagine thinking neurotypes are binary and not a gradient of human experiences. Imagine also thinking one swath of neurotypes is a disease and not also simply part of said human experience.
These are also the same jackasses who think only one sleep pattern is “correct” despite…well, history, but that’s a separate rant.
As I’ve aged, it seems my sleep pattern has gone medieval: I go to sleep at 11pm, wake at 2am, go back to sleep at 5am, and wake at 8am.
Can’t seem to break it, and it’s been that way for a couple of years now. It’s a bit shifted from the medieval times (probably because I’m on my phone til later; I think they did more like 8-12, and 3-6), but the pattern is pretty similar.
No actually autistic people think “in black and white” and I’m not autistic so I do not think “in black and white.” I am very smart and correct (and good at logic)
Many countries avoid acetaminophen for good medical reasons related to liver damage. But no way will a xenophobic country take lessons from another country.

You mean autistic people…are human? 🤯
