There's not enough talk of how weird neurotypicals are. - Fern Brady

... I would rather be an autistic woman than a neurotypical one. I always felt like women seem to look left and right at what other women are doing and are influenced by their peers. If I’d have been more influenced by my peers, I don’t know what I would have ended up doing.

Autistic women have an almost childlike sense of injustice, meaning they are also often ahead of the curve in pushing feminist interests forward.

... by looking at autistic women I admired I began to realize that an autistic brain could provide an escape route from the traditional paths laid out for women.
