CAN ANY SINGLE NON-AUTISTIC PERSON READ THIS PAPER AND GIVE A GODDAMN SUMMARY OF IT SO THAT AUTISTIC PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND THIS AND I DON'T HAVE TO DO EXTRA RESEARCH + BE ANXIOUS ABOUT MY PHD WORK ON THE WEEKEND?

This research that has ALREADY BEEN PUBLISHED BY SPECTRUM10K

is crucial to pointing out the harms of this study,

and I don't have the fucking spoons to sift through the pathologizing.

I've seen 3-4 good ally responses to my blog post today.

BUT ONLY 3 OR 4. THAT'S IT.

In case you want a quick update about how autistic "advocates" are doing right now -

WE ARE NOT OKAY. NONE OF US ARE OKAY.

This is time-limiting because I wanted to talk about it at the panel tomorrow but I'm out of spoons to read through every single sentence. I can't.

[it hasn't been published, it's a pre-print that hasn't been peer-reviewed, but I assume it will be published quite soon in the future since it's a pre-print manuscript]

Thank you to all the lovely people who have summarized things in the comments.

I was able to get a bit of energy from reading those to do a hopefully slightly more in-depth analysis -
