Thoughts on "Unmasking Autism" by Devon Price

I’m not concerned with the book. This whole thread began with someone claiming that white autistic boys don’t mask because they don’t have to. I responded that I didn’t mask because I couldn’t and I would have been better off if I could. Then you told me that I would have had it worse if I were not white, which was entirely irrelevant to my statement, but I guess you successfully baited me there, so point to you.

But please explain your comment. If I’m a white guy in a class full of other white people and I’m being bullied for being the weird kid, where is the privilege? I had to be privileged relative to someone, but I honestly don’t know who you think that was. Someone in a different town who didn’t attend my school?

Please provide some sort of example. This is baffling.
