"Anti-labeling debate is rooted in privilege."
Iz iskustva, nisam još upozala siromašne obitelji u našoj zemlji koje se protive dijagnozi. Jer za sada, dijagnoza vodi do nekakve podrške.
Oni imućniji, visokoobrazovani, njima je dg. nepotrebna jer imaju novca za plaćanje podrške.

My 2s for labelling debate...
Get your/your child's needs met without a label? Good luck. No chance. Even medically we have SWAN children.
Extra needs -> extra supports -> extra resources (including time)
Even for DSA you must have evidence.

How autism researchers construct autistic people through their language and frameworks
How researchers talk about autism matters. 🧵
🔍In their 2022 paper, “Autism research is in crisis” (Frontiers in Psychology), Monique Botha and Eilidh Cage examine how autism researchers construct autistic people through their language and frameworks.

And we never stop.
I look at the world, at the forests and the mountains here, the sky, and it's all right, as it should be. But we aren't. People aren't. We're wrong. We do wrong. No animal does wrong. How could they? But we can, and we do. And we never stop.

‘renaissance haterism.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
