    I agree with this. As someone who is closely involved in the autistic community, autistics aren’t immune to sexism, classism, racism, or any other biases that are also ingrained in neurotypicals. And yes, this has caused interpersonal conflicts where some autistics are marginalized in their own communities.

    We need more realism in the autistic community, not toxic positivity nor ableist self-hatred.
