I've read Shunsuke Tsurumi's "Expectations and remembrances [鶴見俊輔『期待と回想』]" completely, today. I thought that I could "trust" his honesty because I could have sympathy with him. He writes/describes himself as an "outsider/dropout student" when he remembers the past days, and he even confesses how he could have suffered from depression (or even a certain wish for death.) Me, I have also been one who must have been an evil, creepy one. But that's not a conclusion, but a start.
Today, on X, I found an interesting post. It said that "some autistic people can be genius/talented ones who can benefit our society, therefore they (maybe WE) are great!" - Indeed, I can have sympathy with this opinion (I wish I could be such a brilliant one who can afford my gift to this society!) Some "legendary" autistic ones must have shown their talents in this history - Einstein, Steve Jobs, and now, Elon Musk, etc. But, I should be careful about this - I need to show my talent so clearly to get accepted by this society. At least, if I accept this opinion - and I want to DENY this one.
This is JUST my opinion (so, think by yourselves carefully, please) - this kind of opinion must need another opinion as a set I guess - "this society/community should be the same one (can't be changed better, but must be the static one) because you must obey current situation which determines who's genius (and who's not)." Therefore, even though you can become a member of geniuses, you shouldn't change this world better. Yes, you need to think about this.
Therefore, we must be careful about the mechanic idea/thought itself - who's "gifted" and who's "not"? Who's "autistic" and who's "not"? Those ways of dividing ourselves can be rational? I am just an ordinary, not gifted "hentai (I know what this word means because I'm Japanese)" - But I say this. We have to give ourselves each other a certain dignity and intimacy - and ALSO, we have to change this world EVENTUALLY (without dreaming of any unreal, foolish revolution) better - to realize a diversity/neurodiversity-oriented society. This is my conclusion about this issue.
