I've always had a right job getting folks to empathise with the idea that The Standard Writing doesn't come naturally to Autistics. There's just an unspoken assumption of Skill Issue that we're just using excuses to not write Properly.
But now even when we Mask Properly, Silicon Valley has made sure to develop an Autistic Detector to flag our work as AI. So we have the choice between dealing with that, or for our work to be gatekept and designated as Amateurish or Unskilled when we Write Completely Autisticly.
Despite that, being a tendril of the AI discourse, this week I've seen more sympathy to this then I have my whole life. I just hope it actually starts to shift this convo somewhat, even if it just results in *You're Dickheads keeping more quiet lmao
