Autisme og feminisme

"Female "invisibility" in the autistic spectrum should be a feminist issue."

The Guardian bragte i dag en interessant artikel om piger og kvinder inden for autismespektret, "It's not just boys who are autistic". Hvordan ser det ud med det feministiske blik. Spændende og også en smule foruroligende.

"This means that women with autism often struggle at work because they lack what is often taken for granted in women - the intuitive ability to understand where people are coming from and how to manage situations. Because of subtle sex differences, we tend to "expect" more of women in the workplace in terms of smoothing things over, of saying the right thing; and whereas we would excuse a man who lacked these abilities, we are subliminally a lot less forgiving of a woman who has similar shortcomings."
