Autism is a proven profit-making industry. Everything in autism space costs money; not just average money but real $$$$$$. It's profit with almost no accountability. If an autistic does not progress, it because they were not going to show progress anyway, you are too old, it's too late, so don't deserve solutions for your challenges or opportunities for your strengths.
Autism is also a career-making industry, with books published, speeches of fancy words at conferences. We are surrounded by money-making "autism-expert-celebrities" though no one still has a clue.
When money, careers and fame is at stake, some voices get LOUD and LOUDEST- their way is the best, others must be bad. Disparage this person/group as then the new book, will get mega sales from just generating time-wasting controversy.
What about the autistics themselves in all of this?
Are we benefitting?
We are the ones dealing with our autism mind and autism body.
Our everyday reality is far from pretty (and definitely not profiting).
We don't deserve to be thus trampled and mangled and profited from.
Who is in our corner,
with real solutions for our challenges
and real opportunities for our strengths?
