➸ Making Room for Other Roots: adventures-of-cuteella: YOU CAN’T LIKE DOLLS AND PATTERNS BOTH...

adventures-of-cuteella:

YOU CAN’T LIKE DOLLS AND PATTERNS BOTH OKAY

ALSO THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS NOTICING PATTERNS ASSOCIATED WITH FEMININITY OKAY

AUTISM EXPERTS

Yeah, It’s not like anything feminine and based on geometry and patterns exists, you all. Like designing clothes? DOES NOT…

Also his entire idea of patterns is based on intellectual idea bare patterns.

He has no room in his head for people who can sense sensory patterns on a totally different cognitive level and a totally different kind of cognition, one that is overlooked practically everywhere.

Couldn’t have anything to do with his bias towards people who can use and understand words. And then he applies that research to all of us. Including those where words aren’t our biggest strength, as well as those who can’t do words at all ever. We don’t exist. We don’t count.

Worse. People like me. Where words aren’t our big strength at all but who can overcome it with a good deal of effort. In order to go into word mode we lose a lot of our best skills temporarily. He doesn’t understand that. He assumes that our skills in word mode are our skills always.

That’s besides the fact that he designs his research to support the conclusions he came to before the research even happened.

I have no training in research design or research anything of any kind and I can pick apart his research easily. And yet I’ve had to tell trained are searchers what is wrong with it, and suddenly they see it. It’s very strange.

Worse, I’ve talked to researchers who learned things from him, such as that autistic people can’t understand facial expressions or body language. And then every time they got evidence that autistic people could do those things, at least some of us some of the time in some ways, they ignored it. Because subconsciously they believed it was impossible, what they were seeing. So his research biased them in ways they couldn’t even see.
