I honestly believe that one big reason why the paradigm of pathology is so strong when it comes to #autistic, #adhd and other #neurodivergent folks is that:

we have a strong tendency to dismantle all the things.

We do not automatically respect authority, not unless we see that it is deserved.

We question the status quo as our natural mode of operation.

It has even been labelled and demonized as "justice sensitivity" or whatever, one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard.

"Oh you don't like it when people are being oppressed? You must have justice sensitivity."

And seeing folks like us as valuable and useful to society might be tricky for those who benefit from all that oppression.

We are the people who call shit out. I for one am very proud of that. It has always been one of my best qualities.
