The Spectrum Shift Debating Autism's Evolving Map

This debate contrasts the traditional medical model of autism (framing it via cognitive deficits and clinical boundaries) with the contemporary neurodiversity paradigm (viewing it as a natural human neurotype requiring societal accommodation).

The discussion covers diagnostic evolution, the circular "galaxy" model of traits versus linear scales, double empathy etc.

Review: Fritz: A Mushroom Story by Kelsey Garrity-Riley

https://accidentaleducationblog.wordpress.com/2026/08/28/review-fritz-a-mushroom-story-by-kelsey-garrity-riley/

Connais-tu ce genre d'expérience d'être seul-e à vouloir nourrir de **vrais** liens, dans un groupe ?
Je donne régulièrement mon num en espérant que les gens m'envoient un mot pour qu'on puisse continuer à échanger ... et souvent ça marche pas. Avec mon phénotype de mec je peux comprendre que ce soit pris pour de la drague ou une tentative commerciale remarque.

Autre symptôme je suis "démesurément" (d'un point de vue neurotypique, même si y'a que de la #neurodivergence en réalité...) affecté par les intentions souvent inconscientes des gens et les formules conventionnelles.

Sujet commun : prêter des intentions, à tort ou à raison.

I was once engaged to a self-proclaimed communist manchild who made me scream my feelings just to be heard and then called me abusive. He also had a panic attack one time because I held him accountable for his failures to be present in the relationship. I remember he also often used his neurodivergence as an excuse. We're both AuDHD. He's just never been socialised with the same expectations and social standards as women have. He's been outsourcing emotional labour to the women in his life: his mum, his sister, and me back then. So that's just his male privilege, not his neurodivergence. I'm glad he's been deported back to America. Oh, he's an American who never deconstructed his orientalism and colonial gaze, overstaying his welcome here in Indonesia. There are levels of men's fvckeries that are hiding behind leftist and disability justice language and are proof that sexuality isn't a choice. Because what do you mean I still like men? Tf.
Men are the first victims and the ultimate perpetrators of patriarchy. If they haven't dismantled that shit within themselves, they should steer clear of women. Just saying.
Don't argue with me, argue with your dads.

Jum'ah mubarak to everyone except the Indonesian state government and those who regurgitate colonial logic.

I'm enraged, and my autistic ahh has been ruminating painfully, while my ADHD has the energy for it. So Imma drop Friday khutbah here lol.

Racists, bigots, colonial apologists DNI

Bismillah

When survival becomes organised humiliation, people stop consenting quietly. It’s only a matter of time before people decide that being k¡lled by rulers is far preferable to living another day under these conditions. Don't come lecturing people about "violence is never the answer" when you can still afford to see meritocracy as something genuine and unemployment, poverty, homelessness as personal moral failures; when you refuse to sit with the contradictions; when you opt to exceptionalise almost everything, whether it concerns a certain group or a certain religious identity, and call it "nuance." We're Indonesian, not USian.

What are we doing?

Are we still the same nation that went to war against the Portuguese and the Dutch with bambu runcing, and called that war jihad fisabilillah in the 1560s and 1820s, far before Marx even drew the connections between capitalism and colonialism?

We might not be the same people, the same Acehnese, the same Javanese who went to war against colonial powers. But we are the same Ummah that owes a great debt to the Ottoman military for the cannons and gunners under Kurtoğlu Hızır Reis, who aided our Muslim brothers and sisters in 1560s Aceh against the Portuguese, where the Ottoman flag flew as a sign of Muslim unity under the Ottoman Caliphate; the same Ummah that took up arms under Prince Diponegoro's call of jihad against the Dutch and colonial extraction in Java in 1825–1830. Yet we're also the same Ummah that abandoned the Acehnese in the 19th century because, by then, the Ottomans were too weakened to materially respond, and our local ulema were bought by the Dutch Orientalist scholar Snouck Hurgronje, who converted to Islam to learn about Muslims, whom he called "Mohammedans," as objects of study to divide us from within.

He succeeded. He understood something the gunboats never did: capturing the legitimation machinery is cheaper than fighting it. Conquest by purchase of the minbar outlasts conquest by rifle, and it never had to end when the Dutch left.

The Ummah had been divided long before the Arabs revolted against the Ottoman Empire under European imperial manipulation, and had understood transnational solidarity long before Marxist internationalism gave it another vocabulary.

The Ummah here was subjected to two captures before they had names anywhere else. The first wore secular clothes: anything political, anything touching governance, was crushed, while ritual performance and akhlaqul karīm became matters between you and God alone, because fuck empathy and humanity, right? "Obedience to ulil amr is obedience to God," and they called it taqwa. Hurgronje wrote that manual decades before any mandate power bought its first mufti. The second capture came later wearing literalist clothes: ibn Wahhab's interpretation with a state behind it, folded into a nationalist project, until its heirs pointed at everything and called it bid'ah, conflating da'wah with Saudi propaganda. The colony was the laboratory. The methods “tested” here travelled, then came back rebranded as authenticity.

What are we even doing?

Is it because the oppressors now speak the same language as us and claim to worship the same God?

These oppressors were raised in the same traditions as those who abandoned knowledge, succumbed to manufactured enmity and moral panic, and murdered farmers, teachers, labourers, midwives; the working class in 1965–1966, in the name of jihad; the declaration of “God is the greatest” at the top of their lungs while parading the severed heads of farmers around the village. The same society that had not yet had a proper tool or concept for collective intergenerational trauma from 3.5 centuries of colonialism, and only had Islam as a moral framework and the language of liberation and resistance against colonial powers, by the time the successor of the British Empire planted a seed of backwardness that labelled Muslim revolutionaries like Tan Malaka and other members and sympathisers of the Communist Party kafirun just twenty years after independence.

The same Tan Malaka whose speech at Comintern in 1922 about the shared goal of Pan-Islamism and Marxism changed everyone's view of Islam, which was very likely Orientalist anyway, and of Indonesian resistance against colonial powers.

The same Tan Malaka who wrote a book that gives modern Indonesians a language to speak to power. To see the rot in the system itself. To hold power accountable for the structural violence it enforces. A book that the government eventually banned.

The government that wants us to see them as ulil amr. The same government that spiritualises its incompetence, that crushes dissent, whose religious ministry said teachers' salaries are amal jariyah, that calls activists foreign actors—because how else should they appeal to the masses other than by triggering the trauma of the descendants of the colonised?

When ideas are crushed and dissenters are criminalised or even pathologised, the harm doesn’t stay abstract. It shows up as hunger, as homelessness, as lives cut short.

Violence isn’t always soaked in blood. Poverty, homelessness, famine; these are forms of violence. They’re structural. Someone has made sure the poor stay poor while they fatten themselves up.

Yet some of us turn around and say, “Corruption is cultural in Indonesia. It's a collective sin,” and call it a day. No dialectical materialism, no questions about who benefits from lateral violence among broke citizens in this day and age, no nothing.

We have the moral architecture, we have historical records of wins and losses, of the most sophisticated synthesised concept of political theology and material obligations with spiritual accountability. We have material evidence of a pluralistic society in a nation-state that isn't secular and was never once a theocracy.

Yet most arguments from our best and brightest are bootleg copies of colonial logic to blame the oppressed and call it "holding ourselves accountable."

How do some people afford to spiritualise and moralise structural poverty and anti-intellectualism? How do you even participate in society, yet, when it comes to structural analysis, act like you're merely a rude guest looking in through the window?

What are you even doing with that fancy degree?

Thus, conclude today's Keputrian session. My sincere apologies for the absence of snacks, I can't afford them, I'm broke.
See you around.

Wassalaam

Equity will always benefit disabled people over equality. Equality's default is a society built for non disabled folks only. Equity listens to specific needs and accommodations. 🥄🥄🥄

"So if we just go, 'well it works for everybody, or almost everybody, therefore you need to fit in', there's a higher risk of that person being discriminated against. The flipside being, if we do make changes and adaptations for everybody, so that there's choice ...

... the more choice there is available in any given context, the less risk there is of discrimination."

For the change of seasons, I used to do all relevant #spellwork, #cleansing, decor, card pulls, and other seasonal #rituals in one day during the Solstices or Equinoxes. I've realized that's not really the move given my #AuDHD brain lol. So lately I'm slowly doing some cool tasks leading up to the #Fall #Equinox.

This is also my first change of season since deciding to do semi-regular screen breaks/dopamine detoxes, and I'm looking forward to it! I took my first ever intentional detox back in July, and holy shit, I felt so calm during it. Going forward, I'm planning on doing them for 5-7 days during Solstices and Equinoxes, so my first seasonal detox is coming up this Monday. I get overstimulated easily, so I'm hoping that disconnecting from so much stimuli semi-regularly is enough to keep me regulated. I'm thinking about adding a short 2-3 day social media break mid-way through seasons too if I need it.

The Cass Review was not only dismissive of trans identities, but it infantilised #autistic people, suggesting we don’t know our own minds until our 20s.

HE’S JUST LIKE ME FOR REAL 🤣🤣🤣

One of my crushes sent me this and it basically hit me in the damn soul and I started crying laughing and had to share it here.

If I don’t know you or trust you, I would rather do ANYTHING ELSE than acknowledge that you’ve just flirted with me, but believe me, I know, and believe me, I’m Fucking Panicking. Often for YEARS. OOOPS 🤣

I do really like this guy, though…

I’m reflecting on what I want to post on my #Mastodon account.

Soliloquising doesn't seem to be my thing; "soliloquy” being what I’m using to describe what we do when we post on social media. Could be part of #ComplexTrauma, being an #introvert / #ambivert or #neurodivergence.

As awkward as I feel to join in a conversation, it feels easier than thinking about what to post. Perhaps I'll get more comfortable with this after interacting with more people here.

A search engine, or wiki with search engine, to find info about mental health and neurodivergence, but it has an option for whether you want info for your child, or info for adults!
