autism problem #183

autismproblems:

when people think if they carefully explain to you why being disabled is socially inappropriate, you will stop being disabled

It extends far beyond the “socially inappropriate” reasoning, too.  

If you just understand well enough why you have to do this thing, then you will be able to do it, is some of the scariest reasoning of medical personnel that I have ever encountered.

Yes, this.

And at least in medical contexts, this increases the more disabilities you add in (or the more things your disability affects). No, I can’t stop being developmentally disabled just because it’s outside your specialty.

“No I can’t stop being developmentally disabled just because it’s outside your speciality.”

Oh. Those are the words. Thank you.
