Liam Miller’s Reviews > Against Technoableism: Rethinking Who Needs Improvement > Status Update

I said “what the fuck” out loud a couple times. The nazi stuff was wild and reading the descriptions of common behaviors of autistic people was like reading a description for Dominic. Walking on toes, flapping hands, intense and unrelenting focus on one topic, outbursts and “tantrums” as a way to re-regulate. This chapter has hit home more than I was expecting so far.

It’s wild how my views on disability has evolved over the years. I definitely had “the only disability in life is a bad attitude” in my Twitter bio at one point and now I roll my eyes whenever I hear that. So reading the part about the TV person who said he could tell the disabled woman didn’t see herself as disabled and basically that he admired that about her was wild and delusional.
