Hey, just one more thing I don’t think anyone has mentioned yet.
In your title you refer to autism and ADHD as a “pain”. This leaves a really sour taste in my mouth. Being autistic is not painful or a “tragedy” as some call it. Neurodivergence in itself is nothing other than a brain working different than the majority of brains. It becomes a disability only in an environment that is unfit or unwilling to accommodate those differences.
One of the reasons this post was so poorly received is that as autistic people we are confronted often with voices who say autism needs to be “cured” or “prevented”. Which is honestly quite insulting. I hadn’t had the time yet to dive deeper into the study but it seems to have been done with at least some scientific rigor, unlike so many others. And those studies have been used by well-meaning but also hostile voices to marginalize autistic people.
I’m sorry you’ve been met with so much hate but I would really advise you to think about where we are coming from and what kind of abuse we have to deal with Especially considering the current political climate. And lastly, please rethink your stance on autistic folk being a “pain” because that’s just mean and more importantly actually harmful.
I can only assume that this has to do with international law. Copyright is pretty well protected and has a huge lobby behind it. Whereas nobody actually seems to care about privacy.
