Lets talk about #aspergers (a thread) since @GretaThunberg is being bullied for this: 1) I'm diagnosed by multiple practitioners as having high-functioning autism with aspergers. "Having" is a problematic verb. I don't "have" blackness or "have" maleness or "have" brown-eye-ness. @GretaThunberg 2) The neurotypical majority (people without autism) aren't "othered" as "neurotypical" just like I'm not "othered" as right-handed for being in the right-handed majority. The conversation about being autistic often starts in the problematic place of "having" an ailment.
