All order needs a bit of disorder, don't you think?

My name is Christian Swenson. I'm a 29-year old autistic man with interests in philosophy, art history, and all sorts of things. I made this channel to talk about the experience of autism from an autistic perspective. Autistic consciousness isn't normal consciousness. The autistic world isn't the normal world. I want to explore that world with you.

I *love* that quote. I share it with my classes all the time.

Thank you for helping to disolve the shame I generally carry for being deemed a chaotic force of disorder all my life! Thanks for helping to rearrange things :)

I was brought up with a slightly different perspective using the mathematical model of normal distribution: difference must reside for normal to exists.
In the scientific medical world, look at what is usual and typical and anything which is not the case is a disorder. It does not automatically mean that either of the two are worthy of intervention to change.
I am happy watching your channel, it is comforting to see someone as pedantic as myself.

I agree!

[@mirianakovachevic748]

Yes.

I like to diss order. Even more so to diss orders.
