it feels the same as how autistic people with the lowest support needs who move through the world the easiest naturally get to dominate conversations about autism and are so oblivious to the concerns of others that their conversations representlike a negative social experience as on par with - or more severe than - concerns like medical abuse and care provision etc or else when discussing these issues centre themselves and obfuscate the fact that the people overwhelmingly at risk of being restrained and forcibly institutionalised and being unable to feed themselves and literally being murdered by cops are not you. so you can just be like "autistic people are more likely to xyz" and claim that conversation for yourself without being open about the fact that it is never going to be YOU just because u belong to the broad community in which these things happen -_-

#apparently sia was diagnosed with autism post-music and its like #literally makes no difference bc she was trying to tell a story that was nothers to tell #i think we are going to have to have a huge reckoning at somepoint with IDPOL and recognise that actually #how you move through the world DOES matter and like it doesnt make you 'not valid' but you can not be claiming to face oppression that u do #because u like. identify with it. and fundamentally ur identity should not in any way be predicated on oppression lol #also the impact of wealth esp wrt disability #and howmany of our conversations are being led by wealthy ppl who are really not representative of what actually goes on
