Abstract

This personal essay explores my late diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Condition in Dec 2020 in light of the Abrahamic story of Yosef/Joseph/Yusuf. Asking how people differently-bodied for reasons including sex, race, gender reassignment and other disabilities might experience being autistic, I conclude that a revolution in understanding neurodiversity is key to the sociopolitical changes humanity needs to make at this critical juncture in our history.
