wtf is an "autistic world", a planet further from the sun?

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

Its not about the planet.

It’s about the society we live in.

Nothing we do is normal, every step of our lives is shaped by human made culture living in human made houses, working for a human made economy.

It is a “world” shaped by and for the majority norm, which by evolutionary dice is “neurotypical”

The example of an autistic world would be the same society but if the majority norm was autistic. Wed have building build by autistic humans for autistic humans. Wed design stores and public places to fit our needs.

Things would be catered to our needs instead of ignored.

Imagine if some human group survived evolution with still having a tail and has lived separate from us. Their culture might involve their tail. Some of their tools might be tail operated. If all humans had a tail except a few then this few would be disabled, but there not because the majority does not.

My point is, disabilities are very real. But their experience is not caused by the individual itself being broken/sick but by “how different” they are compared to the people around them.
