I felt unnerved reading this article. Many autists like myself are unable to socialize our way through college to access legitimized platforms and yet we have far more pertinent observations and conclusions to share about our accurate perceptionsof ourselves, from the inside out, and we feel like nobody listens or cares. Seeing a normal person recieve accolades for basic research people like myself could have simply supplied common sense input over is heart wrenching. Autistic people, humanities most natural analysts, should be directing research directions. The only reason we don't is because status and trust beget resources before ability. 🤕
