" ... In spite of my inclination to dismissiveness, however, the DSM also carries weight because it’s one benchmark people use, diagnostically and in research, to identify and characterize autism. The just-mothballed version (IV) split autism diagnoses into categories of autistic disorder, Asperger’s, and the ever-muddled PDD-NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified). The new version, the DSM-5, groups all autism into one category but sort of grandfathers in the previous categories. With the new version, for evaluating autism as a diagnosis, clinicians are expected to consider two domains of behavior— (1) social communication/interaction difficulties and (2) restricted/repetitive behaviors and interests—and rank them on severity scales. The idea is to create a snapshot of a person’s place on an autism spectrum and thus that individual’s level of “severity” and need for support. ... "
" ... She’s also commented on the way middle-aged execs, especially in the creative business, talk about “things the kids are doing” with absolute confidence and a hint of dismissiveness, even though they’re completely wrong about their assumptions. One creative director went on and on about the “monetization” opportunities with TikTok when it was clear to my daughter that he had never really used the platform. ... "
" ... That said, the long road to trade sanctions for most cases, and the inability to get to them at all for freedom of association cases, is the main reason why the protection of labor rights in North America overall has been slow and limited to certain rights. U.S. unions turned away from the process early in light of this perceived ineffectiveness, even as NGOs continued to file cases. The dismissiveness by unions stems in part from their misunderstanding about the nature of NAFTA as an international treaty between states of equal standing, the importance of the norm of sovereignty in preventing the NAALC panels from awarding U.S. unions the types of resolutions they expected—like mandating the rehiring of workers, and the centrality of governments, not companies, as actors. Potential changes to the dispute panel could bring unions back to the table and generate more cases. A single dispute panel that puts labor rights on par with commercial disputes and investors’ rights would remove the tiered system currently in place in the NAALC, and with it, reintroduce the leverage unions always wanted to pressure violating governments to improve domestic labor rights practices or risk measures that potentially damage trade relations. Since states value trade, and are likely to make labor rights concessions to maintain trade relations, the credible threat of sanctions that NAALC lacks now would be created, and with it, the mechanism for labor rights compliance strengthened. It is this last proposal, and the leverage it introduces through the specter of sanctions, that would promote domestic policy changes in each country, and lead to stronger labor rights enforcement for North American workers. ...

" ... You wouldn’t offer counselling to address hearing loss, or as the only solution to long term pain, so you shouldn’t do it for neurominorities either. Many neurodivergent people have experience of being told that their cognitive differences could be resolved with a change in attitude, motivation or self-control. Dyslexics just need to “focus more”, autistic people should just “let it go sometimes” or perhaps an ADHDer just needs to “calm down a bit”. When given these examples I hope you can see how dismissive they could be in the wrong context. In my view, trying to be inclusive of neurodiversity by offering mental health support alone implies this same kind of dismissiveness. ... "
