here’s the article that broke the story of Tony Attwood and his failure to diagnose his own son, and eventually, himself:
❝ Why the world expert on Asperger's took 30 years to notice condition in his own son | Autism | The Guardian - https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/sep/25/why-the-world-expert-on-aspergers-took-30-years-to-notice-condition-in-his-own-son
what the writer of the article fails to address is how white supremacy, classism and patriarchalism all played a part in his failure to father his own son ―because that’s not what real men are supposed to do with their adult sons.
