The ASD dx is important to me as an example of the intersection of white privilege and ableism. There's countless examples of black autistic ppl being unjustly incarcerated. Their dx isn't considered unless it's used negatively.

Comparatively, a white 18yo was dx in detention and it was an important for the judge to take into account.

A white autistic person is given special consideration. A black autistic person is punished for their behavior.

This is why it's crucial for the Disabled community to be committed anti racists. Black people are being imprisoned or killed for being autistic, but white men diagnosed with autism helps them avoid imprisonment.

FTR I'm not saying he's NOT autistic, but the timing of his dx and his intersectional privilege has been a huge help in avoiding jail time after pleading guilty to 15+ TERRORISM CHARGES!!
