Mother Jones: How MAGA Conspiracies Infected Autism Groups

Mother Jones: How MAGA Conspiracies Infected Autism Groups. “This world of dubious autism treatments used to be mostly limited to private social media groups and conferences. Indeed, beginning about a decade ago, the very notion of autism as a disorder began to lose currency among many autistic people and scientists who study autism: They started to view the condition not as an affliction, but rather as an innate brain difference. Autistic people experience the world differently, and that difference, they say, is something to be honored rather than treated.” I have strong feelings about this for obvious reasons, but I’ll not melt your monitor with my comments.
