This time, the Guardian is insisting that somethings wrong with us when we don't have superhuman abilities. Look, I have nothing against people who can read people's faces, tones, etc. but they often misread other people, they often assume other people have the same abilities, and - moving from vice to viciousness - they say we are less than human if they realize we lack the same abilities.
This is all in an article on botox. I am no apologist for the industry. I just don't like it when people demonize us in order to go after someone else.

P.S. I really ought to recommend "Autism and Empathy" for those of you who missed it the first time. Obviously, autistic people aren't the only people marginalized by neurotypical supremacists and their dehumanization:
