I don't recommend Your #Neurodiverse Friend #1: A User Guide to Treating People Like People
it's white hot takes, the zine!
Apparently black folks are treated w/ humanity but autistic folks aren't. Like good grief, intersectionality is not that person's strongest vocab word. Won't even get into how upsetting it was to read that
I thought perhaps it was written in 2010 or earlier, but nope, just that yucky

and also! Temple Grandin has a piece in it. I always had iffy feelings about stuff she said. Strange assumptions she had. But actually she's a eugenicist and ableist as fuck https://intheloopaboutneurodiversity.wordpress.com/2019/07/21/why-temple-grandin-is-not-my-hero/
So again, that's a big nope for that zine. Did I mention it starts with a love letter to the Columbine shooters? Because it does
Cripes white people, I swear it is not difficult to not be horrible. I regret reading this. How to feel about Microcosm...
The subtitle of that is total bollocks.
It should be:
"How to not understand Intersectionality, ignore your own white and other privileges, and presume you can treat people like they're less than you because you have a diagnosis"
p.s. you fucking can't divide and conquer me, whites, so don't fucking try.
