If you don’t apply #feminist standpoint theory to #neurominorities, you’re not a feminist; you’re complicit. #Neurodivergent people who’re well-versed in the #neurodiversity paradigm are the experts on the long-discredited pseudoscientific ideology that is behaviorism, not the #academic behaviorists who reap the rewards of the multibillion-dollar ABA industry and are, to quote Alicia Broderick and Robin Roscigno, one of “four different networks of players” that make up the marketplace of the #Autism Industrial Complex. Just as the #FeministMovement was (and still is) complicit in perpetuating the #WarOnRace and the #WarOnQueerness, so, too, is it guilty of perpetuating the #WarOnNeurodivergence. I’m burned out and sick of seeing contradictions in terms like “feminist behaviorist.” For there’s no such thing. What’s the point of pursuing a degree in, say, #Gender and Women’s Studies if, in order to get it, your department forces you to do things that’d make bell hooks roll over in her grave? For those of you who feel super self-conscious about not getting into your dream college or post-graduate program, as somebody who’s been in graduate school for three years, let me assure you that there are scores of people in #academia who couldn’t think themselves out of a paper bag. That’s precisely why they got in, because they’re obedient. Hence the complicity. What disappoints me the most is when my own #neurokin offer their support, only to turn around and betray me. #SilenceIsViolence
