1. Many of us are caught up in this historical moment, akin to Semmelweis (handwashing) and Snow (feces in well water): WE get that Covid is airborne; nobody else listens.

Compare the bezzle spanning between, say, the moment a woman in a strategy meeting makes a sharp observation and is ignored ... and a man offers the same perspective minutes later and is roundly congratulated for his keen insight.

Re: Covid strategy, is autistic perspective the embezzled party here?

3. Other marginalized groups have been living out such questions for centuries; it's time neurodivergents build some explicit self-awareness as well.

Decades from now when everybody knows Covid was airborne, who'll recall that members of certain neurotypes knew before most anyone else?

When no one else remembers, what I'm saying is, we need to.

We need to remember our neurotribes, to themselves, to our children, literal and figurative.

Where else begin a history?

4. Framing the marginalization of autistics as an embezzlement won't make anyone famous. I'll keep talking about it, and have some tiny impact, or none.

That there's a great destiny stretching out before autistics however, should we manage, as a population, to recognize and put an end to our being culturally robbed, whether by embezzlement, pickpocketing, extortion, shakedown, fraud, etc. etc. ...

The world that would follow that, I think, is worth working toward.
