Written late last night, on Twitter (so all caps for emphasis), with some cleaning up:
The neurorobust, (TM, formerly “neurotypical,”), being the typical and dominant neurotype, cannot be arsed to change the world, as, due to their dominance, the world is already as their brains would have it. It “makes sense,” to them, no matter it is forever sliding into wars and other nightmares, it is doing so in a way they can understand, none of it is unthinkable to them, their brains are made for it.
I’m saying that nothing changes unless we address the common disabilities OF NORMAL (dominant culture) PEOPLE.
It is literally and critically NOT ABOUT FRINGE PEOPLE.
Of course the bad guys are wrong about that, but we’re the good guys in the same losing game, and boosting and saving fringe people, while important and necessary and good, WON’T CHANGE THINGS. It will remain, as it has been, a forever losing battle.
The neurorobust, (TM, formerly “neurotypical,”) don’t get it about their own disabilities, and some of the disenfranchised also do not appreciate the disabilities of the “normal,” and cis, and white, and straight – the neurorobust, (TM, etc.) I believe is the point. It is not the skin colour or the sexuality of these people that makes haters of many of them – it’s their neurology, or social complications arising from their neurology – same as us, right? I worry we the neurodivergent also are perhaps not entirely free of the medical model, where NR, (TM, etc.,) people are literally the model of neuro-health, for no logically structural reason, only by consensus.
They are not, they shouldn’t be, there shouldn’t be such a thing, it’s another hangover of creationism, that there is some perfect, God-made version of the human being. There are no “Non-Divergent,” types, because there is no manufacturing spec – obvious, for actual materialist atheists. It is a relativistic relation, all types diverge from all others.
NR (TM, etc.,) people are a neurotype, complete with let’s say neuro-common TRAITS, some good, some bad, depending on context. Superpowers or disabilities (or neutral), depending on context – SAME AS US (Autists).
Right?
And, late hatchers at least, how much did finally being introduced to what is known about your Autistic neurotype help you? (ADHD folks too, all the “ND?”)
This self knowledge is massive, right?
Don’t we think it would be for everyone? NR (TM, etc.,) people included? It would. Of COARSE it would. 😘
So let’s do that for them, with them – starting with flattery.
The NR are my friend ‘cause they’re so big and strong! 😻
(Wanna getta cat, Spike? That’s dysphemism, the worst possible version, of course, I’m joking, but spoiler alert, it’s all I ever talk about, that will be a big part of it, the strength.)
A great deal of the NR trait list is easily gathered, we have the well known descriptions they make of us, these are easily reverse engineered, we have the ironic lists already, the NT dictionary pages, the @NTtakes sort of accounts are listing it all – we can just be a little less humorous and sarcastic about it, it’s funny, but let’s not bury that it’s real also.
I know, aren’t I a ton of fun. They laugh because it hurts.
Part of the puzzle as I see it is I think the NRs take “different but equal” wrong. They think they’re perfect, so they think it means we’re perfect too, only different, and so it’s powerless. The NR (TM, formerly “NT,”) need to understand they have disabilities, and if we can get there, what they are.
(because spoiler alert, what those failings are killed the planet.)
All true and a bit obvious, right? 😘 To some, maybe, but this is my superpower, hearing what it is a speaker doesn’t know, and if anyone knows what this blog says, no-one on my feed is saying it.
I feel like the self knowledge thing was too quick, wants an example. What awful traps did you fall into forever before learning you’re Autistic? I guess for me, I thought I could explain anything to people, I thought anyone could learn anything or something, despite my whole life of never succeeding at it. Now I know, telling folks doesn’t mean much at all. Also the so called DEPT, I finally get that they mostly hate me, this has to help, going forward. 🙄
But surely any Autist reading had their traps and some relief – without naming any tonight or speculating, imagine what sorts of traps the NR (TM, formerly “NT,”) folks have, and no-one to tell them there’s a reason for them, no neurotype for them to discover and finally understand. Uh oh, my catchphrase is calling – just evil, broken Human Nature. That’s what they are given to understand. Hey!
That’s the same too, huh.
That’s what we were before we had a neurotype too, innit. That’s what we were given to understand too! But there was more, wasn’t there? 😈❤️ And there is more for the people formerly known as merely “typical,” or the medical sounding merely “neurotypical,’ the Neurorobust, the maybe eighty percenters too, that very sort of life saving, life changing self knowledge exists for them too, we all just need to know the logical structure I’ve given here, and then look where the logic says that knowledge will be.
Plus, if along the way this self knowledge helps anyone else, well, that wouldn’t be bad either, would it? Surely some of our personal Autistic discoveries, our self understanding stopped us hurting someone else too, didn’t they?
This is going very well, but does anybody know whose wheel I’m reinventing? And if not – where’s my money, I mean, I am looking for a hyperlexic author, a partner. I’m just an idea guy, I need someone for, you know, the work.
