Just mailed to the radio news World At One:
《 Someone you had discussing MeToo said that we can all read non-verbal cues, and have a duty to. She even called this part of being humans not animals.
In effect she has called autistics animals, she has shown a key failure of awareness for us. Inability to read non-verbal cues, or to assume signals, is an explicitly degined part of autism. We can only follow the information we are told explicitly.
What would, or did, her attitude do to justice processes for unrealised autistics before modern autism awareness? What has she shown could still happen where an autistic person under accusation is not articulate about this, or not yet diagnosed, and the lawyers all lack awareness? 》
They had broadcast a discussion of grassroots feelings on the MeToo campaign, asking the very necessary question has it gone too far. Which it always inevitably would - its gender one-sidedness, assuming men are never harrassment victims and should be collectively addressed as villains, always went too far. See this on guilt by accusation.
One of the speakers on its side had said these things, on the abilities to be assumed from everyone showing no knowledge of autism at all. Relative to her, autism has just stayed in its own box and the details of it have never mainstreamed, still. She shows this is dangerous.
