Never seem something this well said... hopefully I will be able to translate this and share with people in Taiwan (our ND community is facing the exact situation and discourse now...)
There is a tension I see within the autistic community between the following two ideas.
1. Wanting neurotypicals to stop pathologizing autistic differences.
2. Wanting support and accommodations because autism is disabling.

Why even adopt the categories of an ableist society who wants us to not exist?
That low functioning label is more likely to put a target on your forehead. It's not a golden ticket to accommodations.
And other autistic people are not your enemy.

Allowing neurotypicals to divide us into the useful and the burdensome is not the answer.
Even for people who are high masking, one episode of autistic burnout can move you from the first category to the second one.

The real question is, how can we best support one another?
How can we speak up for one another while ensuring that we are not speaking over anyone?
How do we ensure that everyone's needs are met?

The lack of accommodations isn't caused by other autistic people having less support needs than you.
It comes from an ableist society who sees our existence as a burden. Who sees our lives as not worth living.

It's not fun having to exist within this tension, and I don't see any easy solutions.
However, I very much think that dividing up the autistic community is not the answer.
We need one another.

So, I understand the tension within the community.
Autism is a disability, and we need accommodations to survive.
At the same time, pathologizing autism may lead to society murdering us.

The neurodiversity paradigm isn't just some feel-good liberal nonsense.
The need to depathologize differences comes from living in a society where differences can be deadly.

What society do you live in? That would be like, "Oh, you're one of the real autistics? Here, have all the accomodations."
Because I live in a fascist hellscape that fucking hates disabled people.

For the people in the second group, the societal solution is rarely accomodations and support.
The solution is more often eugenics and extermination.

Throughout the modern history of autism, there has been one constant theme. The need for neurotypicals to divide autistic people into two groups.
1. Those who can be exploited by capitalism.
2. Those who cannot.

At the same time, I think the autistic people who want functioning labels are incredibly naive. (I don't care what the neurotypicals think)
Functioning labels are unlikely to bring real accommodations.

That doesn't mean it's all bad, though. I like who I am, and I wouldn't be who I am without autism.
Like everything in life, there are good points and bad points.

I also see this tension happen when someone tries to put a positive spin on autistic behaviors only to have another person respond that autism has caused them nothing but pain.
The thing is, I don't disagree with either perspective.

I don't know if I would get any advice on here as I'm not very active on Bsky and don't know many people.
But - I'm an autistic writer in Taiwan, I have traditionally published once and have won an award in Taiwan (first book was non-fic). I wrote a fiction work and self-published this summer ⬇️
