That there are enough autistic people speaking out these days that I no longer have to worry.

I no longer have to worry that I am the only autistic person likely to post most of my opinions in a public enough place for people to just maybe, possibly, if they know where to look, see them.

No….

I am kicking around the idea of compiling (not writing; that is not a thing I do in the relevant sense, which is actually pretty funny in the context of the linked piece) a book about autistic history.

If I do, I would like to see a very slightly edited version of this as the introduction to it.

I’ve long wanted to interview people involved in autistic history – not just the big names – but never got time or energy to carry that out.
