OTHERING 101: WHAT IS “OTHERING”?
Quote:
By “othering”, we mean any action by which an individual or group becomes mentally classified in somebody’s mind as “not one of us”. Rather than always remembering that every person is a complex bundle of emotions, ideas, motivations, reflexes, priorities, and many other subtle aspects, it’s sometimes easier to dismiss them as being in some way less human, and less worthy of respect and dignity, than we are.
Many of our problems are not the result of autism but the widespread attitudes that are the same or similar to and variations of yours. And no you don't beat autism
