But hold up for a minute: who is this “we” that’s always turning up in
critical writing? We is an escape hatch. We is cheap. We is a way of simultaneously sloughing off personal responsibility and taking on the mantle of easy authority. It’s the voice of the middlebrow male critic, the one who truly believes he knows how everyone else should think. We is corrupt. We is make-believe. The real question is this: can I love the art but hate the artist? Can you?
When I say “we,” I mean I. I mean you.
There were many ways to make the 'real' disappear. One way was to create countless 'fakes'. Worthless and common fakes.

Do you consider ADHD or/and Autism a disability? These conditions are classified as developmental disabilities, which means they affect how a person grows and learns.
They are not the same as learning disabilities, which affect specific skills like reading or math. People with developmental disabilities have the right to receive accommodations in their work and school environments, such as extra time, breaks, or assistive technology. However, some people may feel reluctant to ask for these accommodations, because they don't want to label themselves as disabled. I think this is the wrong way of thinking. I compare it to my situation of having poor eyesight. Without glasses or contacts, I see very little, just blurry blobs. Does that make me disabled? Maybe, but I don't let it stop me from living my life. I use glasses and contacts to correct my vision and make it easier for me to function and it is never questioned. Asking for help for ADHD and Autism related challenges should be seen in the same way as wearing glasses.
Because the best way to make yourself one of us is to find someone more them than you are, and put the boot in.
“There is no doubt my present surroundings are sumptuous; but there’s also something sinister about them. The gaiety of these beautifully groomed people doesn’t make one feel at ease…They move like marionettes. And there’s some thing hidden in their eyes; one doesn’t want to encounter so much anxiety and cruelty in a look. Where I come from, people look at you in a very different way, more friendly, freer.”
