Another excellent thread, well.worth reading. Thank you Tim for taking the time to write it
Tim Clare@timclare.bsky.social · 2w agoSo @johnharris1969.bsky.social has a big piece on autism, the spectrum & the overdiagnosis discourse in the Guardian. I suggest reading it.

This is really good analogy. What a cracking way of phrasing stuff. Well worth a read :) autisticrealms.com/ticket-theor...
