who only by moving can balance

It is hoped that with this new diagnosise of AS [they] will come to view [their] depression as secondary to a life-time of not fitting in and as [they adjust] to having AS [they] will be able to accept [they are] simply different neurologically, and that [they] can feel comfortable in the company of others with AS who [they] may meet in support groups or online. Equally, [they] may come to view [their] motility problems as in part linked to [their] sensory hyper-sensitivity and slowly recover [their] mobility, becoming less dependent or even completely free of [their] wheel-chair, and being able to enjoy walking in the countryside again. This could be explored with the support of a physiotherapist who has an understanding of AS.

Let's be clear: Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, a "leading researcher" (worldwide!) on the topic of autism, has decided that my use of a wheelchair is due not to endometriois-related lower-limb nerve damage, but due to sensory hypersensitivity.

Other hilarious assertions:

• my (empirically-determined, very obviously) hormone-mediated depression is a result not of my endocrine system and status as an abuse survivor, but of my autism spectrum condition
  
• being trans* has nothing to do with dysphoria related to my endocrine system and body, but is instead due to ~not fitting in~
  
• ... I was asked about friends. I specified three friends. Their names were rendered Jacosi, [gross misspelling with some phonetic resemblance to potentially identifiable name] and Kashi. These are... not their names. (I'm also gently amused that I was described as being "friendly with" these people: no, these are people I am in principle happy to share living space with, as opposed to "people I really like seeing regularly". So much for their attempts to imply I have no friends...)
  
• They refer to me as "she" throughout. They record my gender as "male" and refer to my "non-binary status" (with scare-quotes). Looooooool.

This, ladies gents & everybody else, is his professional opinion on my life.

Suddenly I am feeling less unbalanced about the fact that he was also ascribing my activism and interests to autism. ;)
