I guess since I’m a fairly visible autistic blogger I should talk a little bit about neurodiversity/disability justice so

Any system that doesn’t follow the structure of “from each according to their ability, to each according to their need” is unjust to those with lesser abilities or greater needs

And dispose of the thought of determining anyone else’s abilities or needs, now or ever. The solution will never be to categorize and individually diagnose every single condition that might affect someone’s ability, giving Latin names to the ones that you decide deserve respect and telling everyone else to suck it up and stop being lazy

Radical disability/neurodiversity justice is guaranteeing access to all material needs to everyone, and making all labor and activities voluntary and consensual. No one should have the power to decide what or how much someone needs, or what or how much someone should provide. No one should have the power to decide who’s “gaming the system” or “just being lazy”

The able-bodied, the neurotypical, and those who suffer from allism can feel free to reblog this
