NEURODIVERSITY

I recently came across an interesting piece about some autistics in the workplace. These always hit home with me because of the tremendous employment problems that I have had as well as the simplistic quick fixes that are given by so many, such as disclosure and Templethings about mentors.I see thatlead spokesperson, Arihas decided to give his $.02 worth when he was interviewed by the author of this article.states:Aside from communication barriers, other challenges can impede autistic workers, such as sensory sensitivity to fluorescent lights or inability to understand directions for a job, said Ari Ne’, a 21-year-old with autism who grew up in East Brunswick and founded The Autistic Self Advocacy Network.even more intriguing statement fromSocial pleasantry should be eliminated as criteria for hiring and a good job evaluation, Ne’said.For those who don't know,is a 21 (maybe 22) year old kid who has never had a job of any kind or made a dollar in his life from working-at least he acknowledged this the last time I had contact with him and discussed this issue, though I realize this may have changed. Even ifsituation has changed (which I doubt), he still has essentially no actual work experience.As a person on the spectrum (autism notsyndrome unlike) who has been fired from nearly 20 jobs, yet who did manage to work sporadically for more years thanhas been alive, I resent him trying to give input on the autistics in the workplace. Never having worked, he knows nothing of the problems that people with disabilities face in the workplace. He is totally ignorant of anything involving working for a paycheck and making a living.Apparently from these statements we see thatfeels that it is okay for an employee to behave on the job in any manner in which they choose if they have autism. Interestingly enough this does not jive at all with his previous statements that insanity defenses should be done away with for people on the spectrum charged with crimes as this will cause them not to have equality withwrote:If’s is a justifiable excuse for criminal action, what right do we have to demand an equal place in a society of law-abiding human beings? When a college student caught engaging in arson suddenly claims’s so as to avoid being held accountable for his actions, what does it say about all other law abiding autistics?Someone working in a customer service orjob should just be able to tell the customer to "fuck off" if they are autistic orand feel like doing this. If the employer were to fire them, they would be a bigot, violating this autistic person's civil rights.Well, as one of my favorite human beings, Clay Adams, would say, wish in one hand, shit in the other and see which one fills up first.and the ND movement are dreaming if they think this is ever going to happen. That society will accommodate people with autism no matter how they behave and how offensive their behavior is.Even more intriguing thaninconsistent statements sayingshould be culpable for crimes they haveis that these statements about socialbeing overlooked are totally inconsistent with previous statements he has made on this same subject in the past, which come from the previous link:If’s means an inability to help breaking the law, all of us are incapable of avoiding lawbreaking. As someone who hopes to work in law eventually, I am not too keen on the message this sends to my future prospective employers. “’s autistics,” says this argument, “are a risk to your workplace environment. They could go off at any moment- it’s just who they are.”, who has commented that because of AllisonSinger's admittedly dumb remark, that this caused a bunch of parents of autistic children to go out and murder their children and that autism speaks is morally complicit with murder, certainly knows about making apas. Perhaps he is worried that when he actually goes out into the world and tries to support himself that he might get into trouble due to some sort of social skill impairment hiscauses him. Perhaps this is why he is so concerned about employer's judging employees by their social pleasantries.Of course the NDon John Best (a possible) is not consistent with this. John Best's caustic speech and blog posts towards thehe despises so much are not overlooked by Ariand the others. Virtually all of them have banned him from their blogs, constantlyhim and never overlook his mean behavior. Perhaps theshould practice what they preach. If that were the case Best's lack of social pleasantry in his posts would be overlooked and all of the NDwould welcome him with open arms rather than banning him.But these sort of inconsistencies andare par for the course for ND. So let's all say it together gadfly readers
