I got on Reddit today because I was bored, boo, I have no idea why I ever visit that site.I know there are people dunking in the comments, but this thread being entertained whatsoever is mind boggling to me. Would my life with schizophrenia get better under Communism? Sure. But “solving neurodivergence” is some of the most absurd shit I’ve heard from leftists in a while
Top comment is good, the thread must have been a lot worse when you posted this because it doesn’t look too bad to me at this point
I think the top comment was pretty misguided and it’s an unintentional whitewash of history. It’s a bad take. A well-meaning one but a bad take all the same.
It should have stopped there.
It really should have stopped there.
That top comment was
n’ttoobad, and then I scrolled down and just sat there
Edit: ReadFanon dropped another banger.
I’m hot off coming out of that thread so maybe this response is a product of exposure to the cognitohazard more than anything but Grunya Sukhareva was first to describe autism in medicine/academia. This happened in the Soviet Union. So the idea of a historical materialist attributing the impetus to describe and pathologise autism as being inherently due to capitalism is ignorant of history and it denies that this first happened under socialism.
The intention of the top comment was good but imo it’s still really misguided.
