Subject: Agreeing to disagree
When experts and autistic people disagree about autism, it's not enough to say "let's hear both sides".
Because... whose voice carries more weight already? Whose version is supported by structures and systems?
And who is living it as a personal reality?
So yes. Giving everyone one turn at the microphone doesn't create equality if a) one person's words count a thousand times more, and b) they're not directly living it.
