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

Many of us see through their bullshit.
True
Different innit. And anything different is scary, and something that can be exploited by unscrupulous politicians.
Yes exactly.
We are visiting some of our grandchildren in the UK. Izzy - asks (states?) Opa, are you a bit weird. Yup, I think you can say that again! 😎
🤣😍
'Bit weird' - what we should all strive for. Because who tf wants to be the same as everyone else! ☺
My thoughts precisely 😊😘
🥰
Our point exactly.
☺
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.
Well, depending on which country you're talking about its because they want to send us to camps again like in good old 1930s Germany.
Cuz autistic people don't need someone else to tell them when they're being lied to
Autistic people see the world differently and tend to have strong moral compasses. That is terrifying.
Exactly that.
Yes indeed.
Our pattern recognition skills are too dangerous for a government trying to repeat history lol
YES 👏
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'?
Yes I can see why that'd make them feel uncomfortable. Its not our problem though 😉
Both Autism and Autistic have less than 9 letters 🤔
Why would you waste your time or energy on that pointless comment 🤷♀️
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 ..
one. Have you heard of any politicians critical of 'psychoanalysts' recently ? 🤔
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.
Well said 👏
You verbalized my inner thoughts. Thank you.
Because we are bullshit detectors and its very difficult to manipulate us because it has to be logical.
Yep
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.
Yeah. I’m autistic too. I’d blame the bigotry on ableism, fear from not understanding, and decades of disinformation. (Andrew Wakefield needs to be dealt with for this shit!)
I agree Andrew Wakefield has a lot to answer for.
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!
Well said
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.
You're going to need to decode that into English for me, sorry.
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
Many thortistics (autistics) are born with disabilities i.e. Autism Spectrum Disorder i.e. autism. Many thortistics don't have autism. We are all human ❤️ 2/2
🤦 That's just a portmanteau of "Thor" and "autistic", it literally means nothing, its a made up word and very immature.
None of them are threatened in the least. They’re intentionally creating a division for hate.
Yes, they just love having scapegoats.
Gotta always be creating boogeymen, and what’s a scarier threat than “Your children are being poisoned into not being perfect little corporate drones”
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.
Well said
🎯
They're scared of us. Pattern recognition, resistance to social programming, zero interest in hierarchy, heightened sense of justice. All are a threat to them.
I agree
Because we’re smarter than them and they don’t like it lol
Well to be fair they've (nearly all) got oughtism. They ought to do sensible stuff but they usually dont. Sigh.
🤣
Kemi Badenoch became working class so you never know 😂
Because if it doesn't affect their close circle they ave no idea what any of it is about.....sadly
I think thats spot on 👍
Because autism shows the vulnerable side of humans and the people in charge don’t like that .its the eugenics of it all . Oh and also autistic people see through the hate .
Politicians are so fragile.
Aren't they just!
