"high autistic-like trait burden"
"'rescued' low-social monkeysโ ability to respond prosocially"
"at risk of developing social deficits related to autism"
This is language from an actual paper on rhesus monkeys being used to model autism.
Burden. Rescue. Risk. Deficit.
How do these people not recognize that their language is chock full of value judgments? Value judgments don't belong in science, where conclusions are supposed to be based on objective fact.
They've already made up their minds about us. Put another way, they've already made judgments ahead of time. That is, they've already pre-judged us. Or, the most blatantly recognizable way to put it: They are prejudiced.
