Absolutely. My wife was recently diagnosed as on the spectrum and it's been life-changing for her. It has also help those of us that are close to her to better understand her as a person.

Autism is a spectrum. What we really need is better tolerance for people who don’t follow social and societal norms, especially women.

I assume being officially diagnosed as autistic actually gets you respect, self-actualization, and accommodations. But ideally, those things should be given to “neurodivergent” people regardless of whether they have a doctor’s diagnosis.

the subtitle was "Diagnostic criteria are developed using white boys and men, failing to serve many neurodivergent girls and women" which, given the normal behavior of comparative statements in English, implies that the opposite of white is neurodivergent which is insultingly absurd.

I don't think it is because of racism that they have structured it in this way, it is instead that they hoped to be anti-racist by highlighting 'white' without the linguistic wit to see the implications.
