According to the feminist group FEMSOC, short for Feminist Society, “being autistic is a feminist issue.”
In an article published by NUI Galway’s student newspaper, writer Emer McHugh makes the case in a piece called, “Is there anything as strange as a normal person? Being autistic is a feminist issue.”
The main theme of Ms. Galway’s article is that there needs to be more autistic women in popular media and “cishet-white-males” are ruining the life of autistic women worldwide.
“Over the years,” Ms. Galway writes, “I’ve mentally collated the reactions I get when I come out to them, and they all stem from the dickish-yet-brilliant-cishet-white-male template that we’re all used to.”
She continues, “It’s led me to conclude that autism is terribly gendered, and that it is a feminist issue. An autistic woman, it seems, doesn’t compute.”
The fact of the matter, according to Ms. Galway, is that “aspies of genders who aren’t cis white men get lost in the shuffle.”
Apparently Ms. Galway has done no research as to why men might be more often shown as autistic than women. The true fact of the matter is that males are five times more likely than females to be autistic.

no FACEPALM image could possibly be sufficient to express my response to THIS ONE!
“cishet white males”? Why is it that liberals have certain groups that it is perfectly acceptable to demonize and treat as second class citizens?
What’s a cishet?
What language are they speaking?
I googled it... you probably don’t want to know.
Everything is a feminist issue, since feminists are completely unbalanced mentally, and have a distorted view of the world.
“Cishet” is a new term that means ‘normal heterogeneous person’.
Greenpeace says that autism is a result of global warming.
I don’t know if Temple Grandin is a feminist ... but I do know she’s a woman! ... :-) ...

Cishet????
Cishet: one who identifies with their birth gender and is attracted to the opposite sex.
What, the lead character in the crime-drama-with-nerds Bones isn't enough? (I trust everyone has noticed crime-drama-with-nerds is now a wildly popular subgenre of police procedural.)
Yes, under DSM-4 her diagnosis would be Asperger Syndrome, but under DSM-5 that diagnosis is no longer separated from autism and is regarded as simply mild autism.
In other words: Normal!
Id settle for calling her Bonkers!!
Yes!
Good grief!
Thanks for educating me.
LOL!
LOL! You are right... didn’t want to know... but I asked!
