@markusl @brainpilgrim @ScottSoCal @dpnash @AlisonW @ginsterbusch @Tooden @andrewporter @cwebber @hosford42 @actuallyautistic @neurodiversity @pathfinder Because SBC is a quack. I'm the same, excellent with languages, cooking, communication, empathising. Absolutely terrible at maths.

If you come across a harmful myth that is seen by the general public as being true about autists it can often be directly traced back to the brain farts of SBC.

Damian Milton's Double Empathy problem blows his stuff out of the water but few outside the autistic community have heard of him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_empathy_problem?wprov=sfla1

Getting a surge of energy from how annoying SBC's ideas are. How insulting and gender-bound, un-imaginative and un-empathethetic.

How he would regard my Kate Hepburn/bluestocking charms as proof of his theories in why I prefer pants to dresses.

When the real answer is I wear what I like.

@brainpilgrim @markusl @ScottSoCal @dpnash @AlisonW @ginsterbusch @Tooden @andrewporter @cwebber @hosford42 @actuallyautistic @neurodiversity @pathfinder Every time I think of him I enter a quiet rage. Except today. I must be in a good place.

I still want to see him stripped of all his academic accolades & clothes & paraded through the streets being pelted with rotten fruit.
