I've already written one blog post about the deficit model - this is part 2 and how this model/way of thinking about autism permeates our understanding of autism, maintaining stereotypes but worse, cementing our internal ableism as autistic people.

What is the deficit model? And why are the things listed in it considered deficits? Who made that choice and based on what?
