Neurodiversity
Neurodiversity is a butthurt philosophy invented by autists who claim to be the next Einstein, Gates, or Jefferson with no actual evidence. This is so they can feel speshul about themselves. It is very dangerous, as it increases the amount of welfare recipients.
Amanda Faggs
Amanda Faggs was the first neurodiversity advocate. She was a normalfag until she took drugs and became profoundly impaired. Looking to be famous, she bragged that she understood the world and was special for it, even though she lives off on welfare. She was featured on CNN.
John Robison
Another neurodiversity advocate, he dropped out of school at age 15 and designed a handful of guitars for KISS. He was just weird, not disabled. He somehow managed to start his own automotive repair business before he was diagnosed, despite the fact that autistics are supposedly too socially impaired to manage a business. He thinks that everyone on the spectrum has the exact same mind that he does. He became a New York Times bestseller and is now very rich.
Temple Grandin
A slaughterhouse designer, she was the inventor of the hugbox. She believes that every autistic is capable of being a genius and has said that "half of silicon valley is on the spectrum." She has probably never even been to silicon valley.
WrongPlanet
Looking to get rich, college studieAlex Plank founded the site wrongplanet.net in 2004. The forum includes confessed anti-Neurotypical killers and lots of autists. Mostly, they just celebrate how they are the next Einstein while having dropped out of high school. Wrongplanet's traffic has declined because Alex was using it to get rich(http://www.autismdailynewscast.com/wrongplanet-pageview-count-hits-profound-time-low-due-lack-adaquate-autism-representation/26665/guest/)
Jonathan Mitchell Strikes Back
Jonathan Mitchell is an autistic author and blogger who advocates for a cure for autism.[1][2] He opposes the neurodiversity movement. He is one of the most controversial figures among autistic bloggers because of his hatred of autism, his view of autism as a disability, and his desire for a cure.[1]
Mitchell has described autism as having "prevented me from making a living or ever having a girlfriend. It's given me bad fine motor coordination problems where I can hardly write. I have an impaired ability to relate to people. I can't concentrate or get things done." He resides in Los Angeles and has a degree in psychology. He has worked in the past, doing things like data entry.[3] He describes neurodiversity as a "tempting escape valve".[4]
He writes as a hobby, having written three novels, 25 short stories, and runs a blog called Autism's Gadfly.[1][5] He was interviewed on Studio 360 on one of his novels, The School of Hard Knocks, and another novel of his is The Mu Rhythm Bluff.[1] Notable essays written on his website include Undiagnosing Einstein, Gates, and Jefferson, and Neurodiversity: Just Say No.
