I don’t agree with the implication that there are certain proper stages of development for a human being. I’m an autistic woman and I’ve been bombarded with the idea that I’m a degenerate because I’m disabled, or that I don’t belong in the world because I don’t resemble traditional ideas of what a person should be; that I am a burden on society or a threat to people because of who and what I am. I think we need to look outside the ableist box for terms that apply to people with shitty opinions who treat others like shit.
My grandpa always called people he didn’t like “shit-birds”. Maybe we can go with that.
