How alone am I in disliking the word "allistic"? To me it feels like an outgrowth of a persecution fetish, literally defining an outgroup. Especially since it has zero mainstream adoption, where "non-autistic" is immediately clear to anyone.

That discomfort, I believe, is the point. Flipping the labeling game on its head is supposed to make you feel uncomfortable with the label.

And labeling it a persecution fetish is projecting. And saying that the mainstream doesn’t accept it so we shouldn’t either is provocative in a post that says “don’t let mainstream lead you by the nose”.
