From Lauren (lstar76) on TikTok, an interesting take on *allistic* values, which seem very different from ours:

It's an interesting theory - but it's hard for me to accept that anyone would define themselves through societal constructs/hierarchical considerations, so I'd need it confirmed by an allistic person - I'm nervous about making dumb claims about allistics of the kind they make about #ActuallyAutistic folk.

I'll need to read the source article too - it's probably this one: https://neuroclastic.com/the-identity-theory-of-autism-how-autistic-identity-is-experienced-differently/

There's also a webinar + transcript at https://reframingautism.org.au/autistic-insights-terra-vance-on-relating-through-autistic-identity/

The Identity Theory of Autism: How Autistic Identity Is Experienced Differently

Terra Vance posits that Autistic people experience empathy and emotions differently because the way autistic identity is structured differs from non-autistic people’s identity constructs.
