If you really want to be fascinated by ableism, try reading late 80s/early 90s kidlit talking about autism and disability.

I& #39;m reading The Babysitters Club, a staple of the late 80s, early 90s, and my childhood. There& #39;s a lot to unpack here.

Kristy looks up "autism" in the dictionary (she couldn& #39;t find "autistic") and the definition said "something about childhood schizophrenia, acting out, and withdrawal" and she rightfully declares that definition was no help.
