here's the problem: nts will only ever relate to people as if they are nt because they never had a reason not to. that means sensitive autistics will always be seen as different animals, usually weaker ones. autistics have to see each new person as whoever they are, but expecting nts to behave similarly is naive. this idea of helping us assimilate is doomed. they don't think like us and they don't need to. our best bet is creating more jesus and buddha types who tell nts what to do

@cuntscab555 That is exactly what we need our teachers to do! I Authoritative models have a huge influence on how NTs view others. I have had both great teachers who helped me feel included, as well as horrible teachers trying to embarrass me in front of the class and thus encourage more discrimination against me.
