Re: call out. I think part of the issue is that chiming in to voice support for someone who is arguing on your behalf without adding any content automatically creates a ‘ganging up’ situation, so even if they hadn’t used the phrase “call out”, it would still have been an issue.
Re: engaging with the whole work. The piece as a whole doesn’t contain anything I haven’t seen before in autistic advocacy. I agree with a bunch of it, although it’s hard to get a lot of people to understand the double empathy problem.
So, the parts that are going to be critiqued are the parts that have conceptual issues - e.g. the two cultures problem idea, which is not universally shared amongst autistic people.
