    Remember, every time you talk about gun control, they hit the panic button over “teh registries” being used to infringe upon people’s rights. But a registry to track girls periods and a registry to track autistic people? Nothing to see there, move along.

    Sounds like something nasty is in store for autistic people. A register like that will be used how? Discrimination, concentration camps, victimisation….?

      Or, we all are. If they are intent on documenting the signal, we can at least increase the noise.

        I mean that there are a significant number of people who claim to be in various medical minorities, who have no interest in getting a medical diagnosis out of fear that they won’t be in the group.

        I believe a person’s medical history is none of anyone’s business—until they use it as a weapon, and then it’s very suspicious when someone gets upset if asked to back their claim.

        Although, anything they’re doing I’m sure is not for a good reason.

      If this is a quip to say “now those who can, will hide their neuro-divergence to protect themselves , and it will seem like there are fewer” then I agree.

      But I think what you are saying is “now all the fakers will back track! Hahaha gotcha!” Licks boot.

      If so then, disrespectfully, go fuck yourself

        There are a lot of fakers, or more accurately: incorrect self-diagnosis. If you have respect for people with neurodivergence, you would dislike people who fake it.

        The only boot licker here is the one who loves authoritarianism masquerading as communism.
