    It’s exactly why I don’t participate in most communities for autistic people and instead look for those that brand themselves as neurodivergent-focused. There’s a lot of “I had it bad so everyone else should have it bad too” as well as conditioned acceptance of societal issues in communities that label themselves as autism communities in my experience.

      Yep I’m right there with you. I find the push back against the neurodiversity movement in some of these autism communities really problematic as well. It’s often based on a significant misinterpretation of what the ND movement is.
