These were my post-blog comments online, me putting the raw idea of this in context.
700 words to say Autism is not the new thing in the conversation.
Theories are supposed to make predictions if they want to be heard, and I’m not sure it counts as a prediction, but:
Not saying you can poison a person into Autism, but is you could, if, say Thalidomide caused some percentage of babies to show up with something that even looks like Autism, that this model of Neurodivergence would account for it.
The idea is, that since Allism is the new thing, and a very specific, complex, genetic thing, that it may indeed be susceptible to some poisons or other, that is to say developmental interference, or damage.
We at abusewithanexcuse dot com feel that poisons are unlikely to create or enhance things as complex as neurotype, to create a million neurological and genetic connections that add up to a complete model of a human, but quite likely to harm one, needing only to destroy some link in the chain, and not build an entire new chain.

One big prediction this theory does make, although testing will be impossible, is that they are never going to find the genetic component for “Autism,” because it is not the specific thing, Allism is.
Impossible to test, because they will either say they did or search forever.

The theory in the Dawn of Everything, suggests, if I consider my idea of Neurodiversity here, that Allism has been manageable for much of prehistory and in much of the world, that humanity cycles into the patriarchal, conflict lifestyle and back out of it again on a schedule of only three or four hundred years.
But it also talked about a sense in academia that humanity is presently stuck on the dark end, and that perhaps Europe has been for some time.
Just giving you what I got about it . . . 😇

I know what I can say, is that this is theory, I am trying to make our own version of the human story and so our own version, or a better version for everyone, of the human sciences – I am trying to create good guy science, non-patriarchal science.
And the point of that blog, to say “Autism was here first,” it seems pointless, but the point of science, the reason we need the scientific high ground is that without it, our answers to the empty threats of the Moms and researchers are empty also – and they rule the world, their empty reasons win.
With this story, with this science, if that’s what it is, we have an answer for the Autism Moms, is my point, with this structure, and them trying to say, “NOW we’re getting all these Autistics (same as they say, “all these gays nowadays,”), and it’s because Tylenol or whatever, we can say, “No, Mom, this here science says YOU are the thing we have NOW, that you are the new thing, that stuff about Autistics, “now,” has been disproven.”
