Autism is complex. Well, no, not really.

Not to us.

It's just different, it's unintuitive, to nuerotypicals.

As is, nuerotypical is unintuitive, to us.

Yet, we get along great, together.

I've been thinking for years about what a form of social justice would look like from within the autistic community. The empowerment of social justice is after all, a cornerstone for ourselves to define our collective identities.

The first aspect I thought through, there are those of us who have never been pegged with behavior problems. We've always done what we have believed to be right and that was enough for us to build a life. Woman benefit the most, but autistic males who benefit from this, tend to have more social issues than we care to admit.

I personally felt as if I had to let things pass by, accepting that things are the way they are. This isn't unique to autism, but it feels more common to me. A travesty might occur if we become used to things passing by, and don't realize we need to wake up from what we've become used to. On the other side, people with behavior issues are already marginalized and this is where the systematic approach to society starts to fail autistics more than our nuerotypical peers.

Nuerodivergence and convergence requires an intuitive aspect to understand. It can be taught, but the psychological boundaries are only available in different authority structures and rapid acclimation and reacclimation can have degenerative effects for our minds.

Assuming we have bioware and that bioware can be mathematically defined. Inferring structure of our bioware would be impossible without intense self introspection. Breaking it down to discrete units of operation, we have to start looking at our inputs and outputs of our whole body as a means of a measure to understand our place.

It's best to start with transient phenomena. A shooting star. A potential love interest. A dreary dreadful. Or simply, a sorrow.

Words make this easy, as I can construct this sentence and you can derive meaning. If you subscribe to nuerocolonialism, you might have read that past sentence as: Words have many meanings.

Words do not have more than one meaning. There is a single sense to every word we hear, see, or speak. Looking for meaning behind the sentence, leaves you vulnerable to changing the interpretation of how you perceive realty.

You're putting yourself at a disadvantage.

Narratives are different. How we tell our stories have always been culturally specific. The flow and cadence of facts and tails iterated in diction is sought as triumph directly associated with creativity, passion, and so much more. It is an exertion of effort into a brevity that makes sense to us, the reader.

That feeling of how a narrative intertwines is well, when you feel it. You know it. And it goes the other way, narratives written by nuerotypicals hail the same type of writing metrics, except, not to us.

This is where it becomes unintuitive. This is where the autistic community, even without talking to each other, just reading what we say to others, to ourselves, in conversation. We just feel it.

We've created abstractions such as procedures, law, and process to cover the technical gaps in our communication. A shared effort to achieve a mutual goal. However, when it comes to defining our identities, we don't yet have an example to draw from. Which leaves us with disagreement with concord. We have mixed feelings.

I believe this is the main reason why the autistic community strives to take control of the narrative of our neurodivergence. It's a peacefilled and intentful action to begin changing the way people think about us as a community. Educating the populous is important for social justice to thrive. A nuerocolonialism in a single word, we could use, is to develop a philosophy.

There are those of us that will fight a philosophy, just because its philosophy. They have trouble understanding the philosophy drives ethical development of a society. Philosophy is at most, a pursuit of argument meant to highlight applicable social structure and at worst, a religion.

At the moment, because the majority of content is largely uncategorized when it comes to understanding if the author is autistic or neurotypical. We struggle to understand some content, while content that aligns with neurodivergence is initially, more common for us.

We don't yet have clear indicators to identify autistic-coded or neurotypical-coded writers. However, we can easily identify autistic-coded characters in animation, movies, a series on TV or Netflix. Can nuerotypicals do the same for their neurodivergence?

We collectively need words with explicit meaning to logic ourselves throughout our lives. Providing us with a bedrock of familiarity and understanding. When then need narratives that align with our unique neurodivergent minds to nourish our minds and stimulate our conceptual growth.

For me, this came in the form of listening to my peer's fumbles. It gave me a bedrock of stories to make better decisions for myself. The story teller, who went through a traumatic experience, was content with just having their story told and not repeated. I maintain their privacy and build an empathetic relationship with them.

We learn from our mistakes, collectively, when we accept our mutual fallibility.

Fables and stories written in an autistic narrative were just not available. I had to make due with what was available.

This is why we're most commonly found online. Talking with others, sharing words, and enjoing feelings with each other in ways that go beyond words. neurotypicals enjoy this medium too, and video games create a system where we can accomplish something cooperatively or strive to compete against each other.

Games are the leading, binding, agent through which neurodivergence thrives. Games provide a system of which a fair game can be played among all participants. Video games, being the most prevalent of example for the socially awkward, recreational sports being more available to the mainstream. There is a natural divide here because of parent participation.

Neurocolonialism prevails in reality while the socially awkward struggle to understand the warmth of neurocolonialism. If we peak inside and peel a layer back, neurocolonialism has elements of authority, social justice, righteousness, shame, conformity, adherence, love, passion, joy, and so much more.

All aspects that are required to build a thriving and functioning society.

I'm not advocating for a neocolonialism on neurocolonism. I'm simply describing it. It obviously works and we have to understand what works as is presented, in order to improve it.

How do we change a neurocolonialism into something less destructive?

We challenge it.

Writers are in constant competition with each other, yet they draw from their heart. It is the first boundary we much learn to transgress as we move from childhood into adulthood. The act of writing is a liberating experience. Expressing your inner most thoughts on a piece of paper to make a statement. Expressing you opinion and pushing it out there. You craft your identity with every word, sentence, paragraph. You're corrected and your pushed and you defeat adversity by building your essay, your narrative, your story.

Deliberately writing out your intent and then following through with it, is powerful. It's how you correct your life path. Even by writing it into a private dairy or notebook and never seeing it again. You flush and dump your emotions in the most healthy way possible.

..and then you move on.

Your narrative is a map to your brain patterns. It's the most humble of fights. To fight with the gods, you must let the gods know you're coming for them. Deception and subversion are elusive and clumsy. Narrative is bold, grand, and boastrieus. You announce yourself, as you are. As we are.

A declaration, a proclamation, an essay can be used to build a country. A narrative, can be used to build your identity.

Start small.

The current apex of the ideal autistic narrative includes an element of presumption and pedantism to it as it is a reflection of how we get along with our relative authorities. We focus more on the rules, because the in-between, the emotions, are constantly in flux beyond our relative human experience. Most, if not all of us, are used to living in bubbles around our monotropism. It keeps us safe. Helps use feel safe, from a long stressful day at work or school.

Neurotypicals would probably call monotropism, a set of interests or hobbies. But it's so much more, it is a dysregulation of our lives and a re-regulation of our pursuits. The fact that we have been shamed for what we enjoy, is startling. Using science as a conduit to make argument about our own preferences is a passive approach to social justice.

The best kind, of subtle.

I personally prefer a little more attitude in my narratives. Using an active voice, provides me with imbuing my identity into the words you read. However, the way I govern myself with my relationships, is very passive, mostly non-transactional. I love to feeling of the push and pull of a conversation. I like to provide the converser with my opinion, and fully hear them. When I write, I fully share my opinion as if you're an interested reader.

I personally prefer discord over discourse.

We often want to have things work out in a way that makes finite sense to us. This is the crux of the struggle within the autistic community. As we don't currently have a clear example of what is possible with our neurodivergence. We've been supported over the years through various means. The added threat of persecution, which we collectively feel, limits our ability to challenge a misbehaving authority.

It's easier to conform and collaborate until one of us, such as myself, is pushed to far. Our metal isn't tested and there isn't a clear picture of what we can endure or endeavor into doing as a result of the artificial stress.

Our society has transitioned from waging war into harboring peace. However, those influential emotions still exist within us and we need to find healthy ways to let our pride and aggression out. Our pride and aggression are key for us to build, because this is where our perseverance and our drive to protect the weak comes from.

If we have more people who can protect the weak. We'll have more resources to strengthen the weak and in turn will become a more resilient society as a whole while we embrace each other.

Turns out, it all starts with being nice to those who come behind and below us. When I talk about the hierarchical structure of psychology. It's a minor focus on how we have built our society into a series of stacked beliefs and support networks to hold each other up. To empower each other.

When I say, I rather be an Aspie, it means two things. First, it is the most optimal behavior pattern-set that an authority understands. Second, it's a knock at the change in definition of autism to include Aspies in the DSM 5 manual as autistic. A slight against an authority that took it up on themselves to refine a clinical definition, without considering the sociological aspects of a thriving culture that was already based in intelligence and aspirations to become more than what we are.

You destroyed a perfectly healthy identity for a majority of us.

By changing our words and redefining our identities. Scientists have chosen to marginalize an entire community, that was already having difficulty defining itself outside of our families, coworkers, and close friends.

You forced us to re-educate our peers..

..and that's why we are challenging you for control over the narratives that make up our philosophical identities which govern our lives.
