It’s a medium article about infighting that I often see in autistic communities.

    I think it’s ok for there to be breakaway communities establishing themselves. We all grow up in different ways and come from various cultures, and in combination with “monotropism” it’s unlikely we will all view things from the same page.

    It can however lead to what the author describes as “going off the deep end”. As sad as that is though, mental health is a challenging thing, and especially for us neurodivergents it can be an uphill battle depending on where you are in life and what experiences you have been through.

    I would love a utopia where we could all get along, respecting differing opinions and perspectives, particularly where they clash with staunchly held beliefs
