True.
> One of the first things you do if you want to integrate a community or break up a culture is you invalidate their language.
This is affirming the consequent once again. You assume the goal is to break up a culture, and claim this is a tactic for that purpose, but that doesn’t actually tell us this is the intention.
As a counterpoint, it is hard for autistic people to get accommodations in workplaces especially without strong legal support.
Is this because bosses ‘want to break up a culture’? I would say not. I would say it’s because management culture has a ludicrously simplistic idea of what humans are in general, and what I’d like to think are false beliefs about cost/benefit of making accommodations.
