Sublime

“We have to make society over again from the ground up,” they say. “Our own little neuro-queer microsocieties. Because no one else will think to include us.”

feelings of anxiety and paranoia organize many of the processes and relations in these online queer spaces in ways that resemble prior and contemporaneous forms of racial injury, as well as emergent or ongoing forms of violence.

their subjectivities more generally, because they reject homosexuality without shoring up their straightness, remain just over the horizon, in some other speculative space that manages to endlessly delay and defer their queerness.

This is about structural violence too and about how I relate to myself through desire when I am deeply undesirable, I am expendable, and I am only here for labor or reproduction?

What is sociality without a you or a me? As a means of closing, I posit a queering of autistic pronouns, a queering of relational indexes. An asocial present is often rendered by clinicians as a nonexistent future, an autpocalypse: More people are becoming autistic; therefore, more people are becoming nonpeople.
