“Egalitarian doctrines maintain that all humans are equal in fundamental worth or social status”
Everyone Is Precious & Equal
In the context of the autism world (and my outlook in general) this is where I stand equality is for everyone, everybody who is in this world – I look at both sides of the the coin and take into account peoples realities (that makes me neutral/moderate/in the middle) that means that you look in a more three dimensional perspective of peoples diverse realities you cannot speak for all but one can learn from EACH OTHER through listening, experiencing and connecting. That is what is needed in this world kindness and empathy and accepting other people’s views.
That means the inclusion of
- Parents/Carers/Guardians
- All Experiences On The Spectrum (The Whole Spectrum)
- Professionals In The Field Of Autism (Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Neurologists, Biologists etc)
- Social Support Services
- Educational Services
- Housing Services
- And Many More
Militancy & Extremism & Is Not Equality
No it isn’t is is quite the reverse it subjects people, suppresses them into a forced mode of thought and/or perception this means that voices potentially get lost in the process making people feel if they don’t go along with this – they are out of the “club”, lonely or worse. All views are of equal valor in the context. They should not violent, immature of disrespectful to someones character – all views even in disagreement can be acknowledged and politely disagreed with. This is why I am not a “culturist” or an “curist” but I believe in a balanced manner both sides have the right to their views it is in the way that they’re expressed and what is behind them.

Person with Autism
I also try my best to live with the good cards I was given not over-investing in my autism being the defining factor of my being (but having a healthy acknowledgment of it that it’s there) but also thinking about other qualities I have such as being a writer, poet and artist – I do have disability, I do have autism and I have a “mild” learning disability that is true but I am a human being first and foremost. And for someone to be seen as person equal to everyone else is a basic human right for anyone.
Social Equality – It’s for Everyone
Accepting experiences is through the understanding that everybody was born equal, no labels, no social status, no preconceptions just born a little person preparing to grow-up on what ever path is grown from development, environment and/or otherwise everybody has the right to have a roof over their head, three meals a day, a wage/payment which can support themselves and their families, a benefit system that cares for the disabled and people with mental illnesses, a government that looks out for all it’s people, wars quenched not and man made barriers be fallen so every person knows the commonality of being human is that everybody is all different and let people be novices to other peoples experiences so another person gains anew. People all deserve the right to be equal.

Reblogged this on Cortical Chauvinism and commented:
A few days ago I asked readers of my blog on neurodiversity to write their opinions. The purpose was to clarify our basic understanding (or misunderstanding) of neurodiversity and emphasize areas of mutual agreement. It is always better to reconcile ideas and work together rather than individually. Paul was the first to express his thoughts. A little biography of Paul appears at the end of his blog.

On one hand, I believe that most everyone is equal. We are far more similar than different, and that we all deserve respect.
On the other hand, not to say you’re wrong, but we should also take into account everyone’s individual differences in dealing with people. Everyone has different needs and wants that need to be fulfilled different ways.
Finally, I also agree that you are a “person with autism”. People are very complex in many different ways. I know some people try to see their entire lives through the lenses of autism or Asperger’s but one can get mentally lost easily doing that.

Hi Yuval
Thank you for you comments – Yes I agree with you about other’s personhood’s and how people have their unique dealings with each other and that is important (I will update this blog again I think). 🙂 Thank you again. 🙂
Kindest regards
