In this episode I passionately break down a recent article published by the SF Chronicle which highlights a study by UCSF which pushes the ableist narrative of trying to "fix" or "treat" autistic folks instead of listening to their experiences and making society more accommodating. I give specific examples on certain accommodations that can be made in terms of autistic experiences such as sensory sensitivities and social communication differences, rather than spending so much money and effort on "treatments".
