the leftist rebranding of anti-autism ableism and cultural shift in conservatism

been taking a break from tumblr and have been watching some video essays, people are talking about how there’s a sudden shift in conservatism and i noticed. such as the “old money/quiet luxury” style (if you go to any store everything is beige now, “zara ski” drama etc.) , people removing their tattoos, the calling gnc girls “pick mes” or even just girls who are feminine but don’t wear makeup.

anyway i think i’ve noticed something similar in the autism community. i’m seeing a lot of takes such as autism $peaks is good actually, lsn/late diagnosed people are whiny/quirky white girls on tiktok, autistic people get yelled at for relating to a post with their own story despite that being a literal autism symptom. people are being shamed for not having “masculine” special interests, i’ve seen posts making fun of ppl who can’t do small talk and they were seemingly leftist and autistic themselves!

the same is being done to adhd, despite the fact that it can be extremely disabling depending on the severity. like autism. this all in leftist spaces, people saying adhd people don’t have it bad enough/aren’t really disabled, but (i’m not american so correct me if i’m wrong here) who are the wellness camps getting proposed for?

i’ve seen plenty of “other autistic people have it worse than you”, “aba is good actually” that sounds like the stuff that would come out of autism parents or gossip forums. and sometimes i’ve seen t*rfs spouting this same rhetoric. i wonder if the shift in conservatism is the reason for all this phenomenon. what are your thoughts?

edit: i think there’s a sexist component too. because this all started happening as soon as women started getting diagnosed more 🤔

#autism #autism community #cultural shift #it’s fine if aba helped you. but it’s something that causes trauma in most autistic people #ableism #tw ableism #the title makes it seem like i’m trying to write an essay lol but it’s just to make the post more eyegrabbing #very weird phenomenon #recession indicators #<- ? lmao

Recession Indicators???

In the past trends of 2024, such as the Office Siren trend or the Bayonetta Glasses trend, reflect a subconscious desire to dress in business casual attire, which is not something we strived for back in the ‘90s or ‘00s. In the ‘90s and ‘00s, we dressed in “Y2K” fashion, which was done with financial stability, but not in 2008 where the trends began fading. This could be because of a new era and new century, or it could be an indicator of a recession. This is why I believe the Office Siren and Bayonetta Glasses are the current trend, as we crave for financial stability, despite the fact that people in an office workplace environment do not dress like this. In 2008, people often preferred to wear button-up shirts, miniskirts, and black tights; which is also used in the Office Siren Aesthetic. Uggs, the shoe, were also popular just as it is now. We often revert to trends based on the financial state of our bank accounts, as well as the country’s, just as we did during WII when people faked owning nylons. Trends are predictable, not only because of the reminiscence of what we thought was more fashionable back than, but also what we subconsciously desire out of life.
