Last year I saw Ari on Good Morning America talk above a caption quoting another ND activist proclaiming: "There's nothing wrong with us! Autistic and proud!" That's why I said neurodiversity denies autism is a disability, if this is not true then you can take this issue up with ABC and leave me out of it. The first person to coin the term "neurodiversity" used it to disassociate autism from its definition as a disability anyway. And I would think someone who describes herself this way... "a hyphenated corean-american powerchair-roaring, vent-using disability activist radical woman of color feminist wannabe poet army brat internet nerd pansexual queer young person/youth mixed girl" ...would buy into the lies of pharma tools, but I was wrong.

You are right on the money about backlash just being part of the journey on the road to Civil Rights--it shows we are indeed on the right path. At the same time I applaud the respectful, constructive, compassionate and assertive approaches that people are advocating for setting boundaries on people's inappropriate and hurtful behaviors.
