Trigger warning: Girl gets arrested, seemingly for being Autistic in a built up area.

Firstly: As the (annoying) commentry indicates we don't know all the facts here.

Secondly: It's a "zero hedge" article featuring PJW, so will be utter anathema to some people.

Thirdly: It's morbidly interesting, and somewhat thought provoking.

  • I don’t normally share opinion piece video essays here. But since it’s relatively short and since the creator identifies him self as being autistic i’d like your opinions on what he says towards the end of the video about weaponised autism saving the world.

    so what do you guys think? is autism the solution? the antidote? to conformist totalitarianism?

  • "Whole squadron of rainbow hatted rozzers" - Priceless! 

    5:00 to 5:29 is exactly my kind of Autism.

    I've been totally stymied to find how rare it seems to be here.

    I thought I'd find many more kindred sprits, and maybe we could try and organise, and maybe whomp up some durable solutions to the big problems that don't involve massive loss of life, or criminalising the population but I find I'm as isolated in my thinking here, politically speaking as I am in most public places. Occasionally another half demoralised kindred spirit appears, but no Autistic "Eureka moment".

    Even the ones here who seem to understand the concept and application of "Weaponised Autism", (My kid bought me the tee shirt, bless!) seem to have no idea how to use it sensibly... (myself included, probably)
