Autism is congenital, we don't become autistic. We are born autistic. I don't understand why politicians feel threatened by autism.

Cause they're narcissistic psychopaths who thrive on winning and rigging the game. Autists challenge their very being by our existence cause we dgaf about that garbage. Pathologize us, make us seem lesser, is their only response. Less they concede that yes, this game we play is bullshit.

Perhaps because many of us don't necessarily take things at face value, and try to understand by asking questions, and don't necessarily accept "that's just how things are" as an 'answer'?

I'm not autistic. My partner is. She would have asked me to explain too 🙂 Politicians will generally try and 'target' others. But the 'others' have to simply categorised (and in the press). Autism is very visible recently, and it is a different but relatively short word, migrants is another good ..

Neurodivergent people think in a way that means we aren’t easily swayed or controlled. We don’t care about hierarchy or extrinsic motivators, we have a strong sense of justice, and we tend to tell the truth even if it’s inconvenient. We are a huge risk to anyone living on smoke and mirrors.

They don't. Republicans need some innocuous thing to rally their voters behind. Simple as that. Abortion wasn't a religious issue until conservatives pushed for it to become a thing. Just tell enough lies and you'll get your target audience in a blood frenzy.

We tend to tell the truth, and expect others to do the same. We ask straightforward, direct questions, and expect an answer not deflection or waffle. Too many of us are successful for us to be dismissed now. No wonder they feel threatened!

Because its something they can't control, also to an extent it needs money invested in research that politicians won't spend because it would mean not giving rich people tax breaks.

Sos Kercie, but genetics and evolution are behind our being thortistic. But something is triggering thortstics to be born with difabilities i.e. autism. So yes autism is congenital. Being thortistic - this sis great.

Being thortistic (autistic) is to be with a healthy, good neurotype, which is equal with all the other human neurotypes that we evolved to have. 1/2

I think politicians these days feel threatened by anyone 'not like them'. Probably it's their own ignorance & prejudice. Those who have had proper jobs in real work places may be less ignorant than the career politicians, but not always.
