3) Other marginalized groups have been living out such questions for centuries; it's time neurodivergents build some explicit self-awareness as well.

Decades from now when everybody knows Covid was airborne, who'll recall that members of certain neurotypes knew before most anyone else?

When no one else remembers, what I'm saying is, we need to.

We need to remember our neuro*tribes*, to themselves, to our children, literal and figurative.

Where else begin a history?

Sometimes a bezzle lasts 10 minutes. Sometimes years. Even decades.

Ask Ignaz Semmelweis.

Ask John Snow.

Ask Copernicus and Galileo ("And yet it moves!").

Socrates. Jesus H. Christ. Wiley E. Coyote.

Alright, maybe, maybe not.

But, ask every thinker who died without having been vindicated, and whose thinking wound up changing the world once they no longer had to be given credit.

1) Many of us are caught up in this historical moment, akin to Semmelweis (handwashing) and Snow (feces in well water): WE get that Covid is airborne; nobody else listens.

Compare the bezzle spanning between, say, the moment a woman in a strategy meeting makes a sharp observation and is ignored ... and a man offers the same perspective minutes later and is roundly congratulated for his keen insight.

Re: Covid strategy, is autistic perspective the embezzled party here?
