I have been learning about #Autism in the same recent years as learning about #AntiRacism and #AntiColonialism .

It seems to fit the pattern: that there is some universal (European/White, Anthropocentric, Androcentric/Misogynist, Christian/Abrahamic, etc) way of being, and everything else is "wrong" and needs to be "corrected".

Littleproud says a #Voice won't close the gap on Indigenous #disadvantage.
