I have become decidedly anti-communist since 2022.
Years of watching Marxists support the Russian war effort has convinced me that these people are a security threat.

I’ve had misgivings about what is going on in the autism world for a while. Misgivings about the way that many clinicians are going along with narratives which are not based in science, and which seem to be largely based on the say-so of a few, very influential, activists. I’m concerned about the way that we have accepted that expanding autism to include more people is the right thing to do, and how little time we have given to asking what ‘neurodivergence’ really is - and whether it might not be such a good idea to refer to ‘neuro’ all the time when we know that people tend to understanding neurological explanations as ‘set in stone’.
But the thing which makes me most concerned was how hard it is to talk about it. When pioneering researchers like @utafrith say that they think we need to rethink the autism spectrum, they are treated as if they are in the stocks. Rotten tomatoes, in the shape of internet insults, are hurled. It’s as if the crowd is shouting ‘shut up shut up shut up’. Except not as politely as that.
Whenever I see something like that happening, it makes me more, rather than less, interested. I wonder what they are trying to hide. What is being covered up here? Why is it so important to stop some questions from being asked? For if we can’t disagree, then we can’t conduct science. There is no way to improve our knowledge if we can’t have balanced discussions about why something is happening.
That’s why I wrote my latest book, which will be coming out in Feb 2027. It’s the inside story of how autism has expanded, and why that matters to us all. It's just too important to keep quiet about, even while the rotten tomatoes are hurled.
It's so over. Agora é normal falar que crianças fazem exame de toque semelhante ao exame de próstata. Tudo pra defender fala de político. Foi por isso que me afastei da esquerda ainda lá em 2010 no primeiro período da faculdade
Eu estudo com mulheres que fazem enfermagem e elas legitimamente confundem a posição do clitoris com a uretra, então não é questão de "homens não sabem como a buceta funciona"
