So no. Autistic people are not ‘just making it up because society is crap’.
The reality is more like this:
Society is often crap, and autistic people are then forced to explain their real differences through a diagnostic system built around pathology, gatekeeping, and disbelief.

Then, as we’re not listened to, society's understanding of autism develops without us.🤷🏽♀️
That flawed understanding is then used to overrule us, again.
Strange little loop. ➰

AI didn’t just flatten my writing.
It reassigned me.
My last name was changed.
That’s not understanding.
That’s probability resolving identity.I was logged in.

AI summarized one of my articles.
It caught one convergent idea and stopped there.
The point wasn’t lost.
It was removed.Not what I ... 😡 ... wrote.

I think we autistics might know all this in our bones. In our hearts. Somewhere, anyway… but usually on an instinctive level.
Even if we’re not aware of our reasons or motivations, and instead struggle with shame and self-doubt (just as we’re encouraged and socialized to do).
But… clarity is the enemy of oppression!
It replaces confusion with transparency. It throws light on the landscape 🔦

Subject: Information processing in autism. Is our style necessarily a deficit?
Why do autistic people find new or high-stimulus environments stressful; even overwhelming?
Why can it seem, at times, we're slower than others? To take in scenes; to mentally process them; to make decisions based on them 🤷
This thread is an alternative take on autistic processing style & speed.

...are tasked with the enormous and near-impossible job of ‘educating them’ (and blamed for failing when they don’t manage to).
But, sadly, the privileged ones are selectively deaf or you didn’t use the right tone or… or… well, I think you get the gist.

Yours truly on AI adoption, the media's existential crisis, epistemic injustice and erasure, AI-facilitated gender-based violence and devaluation of women's labour in the media.

Participatory methods in urban development, aimed at engaging inner-city youth, seem to align more closely with the cultural codes, practices, and career paths of the creative middle class. Whose voices are heard and whose knowledge remains marginalized?

Testimonial Oppression in Palestine
How is silence rendered a tool of violence? Kristie Dotson’s work on Epistemic Violence provides critical insights into the practices of testimonial oppression, particularly silencing and smothering, that produce epistemic harm against marginalized groups. Dotson highlights the systemic strategies used to suppress the voices of

Silence! Voices must not infiltrate the rhythmic sounds of war, death, and starvation / yet speak, as loudly as you can! Where your words sync with our massacres, when your unequivocal calls are responded to by the cleansing of your enemies.

I'm really looking forward to discuss the first draft of our recommendations to tackle burdens and barriers for authors in #OpenAccess publishing in our virtual workshop tomorrow:
https://projects.tib.eu/idaho/en/abschlussworkshop/
Free registration: https://tib-eu.webex.com/weblink/register/re6ed366fa3fe9b19d7328bccc391b23d
Insights in the topic of #EpistemicInjustice will be provided, then a summary of the most relevant results form our project with regard to the development of the recommendations. And then the "work" part of the workshop starts. :)
Please share!

Australia's semantic struggles over a "one and only" reality or a pluriverse?
From the 'heart of darkness' to the “sanitised” articles of sub/urban place names."Some (Wikipedia) editors told us they felt it was their responsibility to include First Nations’ perspectives, even though they met with heavy resistance. One, Lucas, had repeatedly tried to include First Nations place names, often unsuccessfully. He no longer edits Wikipedia. “I just ran out of energy for it”...One or two editors “were going around removing Aboriginal place names from all the articles about Australia and Australian places”.
