1. La Intersección Tóxica de Patriarcado y Ableísmo.
Las publicaciones describen el patriarcado y el ableísmo como sistemas de opresión interconectados que se refuerzan mutuamente. Esta intersección crea un entorno especialmente hostil y discriminatorio para las personas autistas, en particular para mujeres y personas no binarias diagnosticadas tardíamente, quienes enfrentan microagresiones y dificultades sistémicas a lo largo de su vida.
- Intersectional patriarchy & ableism are toxic & *especially* full of shit! sincerely, late-diagnosed actuallyautistic (almost age 35, april 2013) nationally certified medical laboratory scientist whose adult life would instantaneously make incels contemplate un-aliving, had they experienced it!
- Yep, i was diagnosed actuallyautistic at almost age 35 in april 2013. Story of my adolescent & entire adult life: intersectional patriarchy & ableism are toxic & revolting as *fuck*, not to mention hell on earth to live under!
- You do not understand institutional ableism if you ignore the intersections it has with misogyny. Medical institutions use ableism to reinforce the patriarchy (they also use ableism to reinforce many other forms of oppression). Ableism is not always just ableism.
- Fun fact: ableism is the nepobaby of patriarchy and racism it’s important to keep this in mind as we move forward to make space for disabled folks.
2. El Autismo como Excusa para Conductas Patriarcales.
Existe una fuerte crítica hacia hombres que utilizan un diagnóstico de autismo, real o autoproclamado, para justificar comportamientos misóginos, acosadores o inapropiados. Los autores argumentan que el problema de fondo no es el autismo, sino el privilegio masculino y las dinámicas patriarcales que permiten y excusan estas conductas.
- Stop using "autism" as a way to excuse patriarchal bullshit and men behaving terribly i _am_ autistic. It is _infuriating_ to see autism used to excuse behavior where the problem is _not_ that they are "autistic" (if they even are), the problem is something like "they are a man high on patriarchy.".
- Autism isn’t a pass to harass. In the past few months i’ve seen the autism community talk about at least three people using their autism as an excuse to harass.
- It's so ableist! it just plays into the narrative that we aren't adults who are responsible for our behavior. It's also unexamined male privilege ran rampant, and the patriarchy will always find a way to excuse it.
- When abusers claim their autism as defence and do this shit claiming they didn't 'read the room' (i'm so fucking pissed off at white cis het men blaming their entitlement to autism rather than patriarchy).
3. Diagnóstico Tardío y "Masking" en Mujeres.
Se señala que las normas sociales patriarcales obligan a las mujeres y niñas a "enmascarar" (masking) sus rasgos autistas con mayor intensidad para ajustarse a las expectativas de género. Este fenómeno conduce a un infradiagnóstico sistémico, a diagnósticos erróneos (como trastornos de la personalidad) y a un reconocimiento tardío de su neurodivergencia.
- The massive underdiagnosis of autistic women and girls - and misdiagnosis with personality disorders - is an example of patriarchy in action. Disgraceful.
- Patriarchy and misogyny *enforce* social norms, resulting in increased masking for women (plus decreased validation/respect for experiences). Society enabling men to get away with everything gives autistic men enough leeway to stray from norms (less masking). And it's bullshit.
- What if the disparity between male & female diagnoses can be explained by simple misogyny ? what if strict gender roles & expectations enshrined in patriarchy make women, girls, non-binary, & lgbtqia people (behaviorally) mask their neurodivergence more often? 7/.
- It is the patriarchy and racism once we stopped only diagnosing rich white boys with autism and recognized the criteria in girls, trans people, nonbinary people, people of color, etc then we saw we failed to identify and help so many autistic people fuck you.
4. Rechazo a las Jerarquías y Crítica Sistémica.
Algunas publicaciones sugieren que la forma de procesar la información de las personas autistas, especialmente el reconocimiento de patrones, les permite percibir las jerarquías sociales como el patriarcado como construcciones ilógicas y fraudulentas. Esta perspectiva a menudo se extiende a una crítica más amplia de otros sistemas de opresión como el capitalismo y la supremacía blanca.
- I am autistic. My pattern recognition sees hierarchy as a scam. The emperor wears no clothes, and that includes the patriarchy. Its supporters enforce gender roles to maintain that scam instead of celebrating women as the beautiful, wonderful miracles we are.
- It’s the intersection of patriarchy, capitalism & privilege with neurodiversity. They aren’t calling out ‘i’m like this because i’m a privileged capitalist male’.
- Most things that makes life more difficult for autistic ppl are actually just the result of allistic ppl telling us we’re humaning incorrectly and therefore must alter ourselves to comfort them. And much of this is rooted in the societal trappings of capitalism, patriarchy and bigotry.
- Still disagreeing with miranda fricker on whether being overlooked because you are neurodivergent is an epistemic injustice (she says it isn’t, i say it is). The neurotypical-oriented world is as much a construct as the patriarchy.
