When Autism Advocacy Is "Partial"

Post Reply New Topic

I quite understand that's how it works out there through the internet.
I've been wondering when they'd acknowledge that both are right while wrong by itself.



From where I live, the advocacy dynamics are rather different.
The parent-child dynamics are also way different.

We don't have to scream for acceptance or sought a cure. We'd rather celebrate.

Various regional cultures by itself had already conform to the paths of acceptance by default, but still lacks the awareness, knowledge and understanding that neurodiversity could've offer -- yet one can try to personally practice by themselves.

While the less accepting paths are more known to be inane and superstitious than pragmatic or rational as the medical proponents portrays in the west.


Heck, the knowledge of the medical stance is what others here needs in order to be convinced of acceptance.
Now you know why I laugh a lot about it.

I read this article before it was shown here and agree with the principle of partial advocacy.

I would go further and say advocacy should exclude scientific research and health policy.

No one group owns autism.

Her argument makes sense, although I think that even among more "high-functioning" Autistics (such as myself) there is room for more than just the social model in the conversation.
