“Today’s episode critiques the capitalist commodification of neurodivergence, specifically targeting the exploitative coaching industry that profits from the vulnerabilities of autistic and ADHD individuals. It argues that this industry perpetuates ableist narratives and reinforces systemic inequalities by offering expensive, often ineffective "solutions" instead of addressing societal barriers. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, proposes “matristic spaces” as an alternative, emphasizing community, care, and mutual support as a means of empowerment and genuine inclusion. Ultimately, they calls for a systemic shift away from capitalism to achieve true equity and celebrate neurodiversity.”Here’s the link to the source article: https://open.substack.com/pub/autside/p/coaching-grift-and-capitalisms-commodificationLet me know what you think.The AutSide is a reader-supported publication.
