Post-autistic economics
The term Post-autistic economics has been used (or misused) in the past to associate a deprecated form of economics based on:
a. a perceived narrow world view and
b. what is considered by its critics to be an excessive reliance on mathematics,
with the spectrum of personality profiles and difficulties known as autism.
Those with diagnosed, or self-diagnosed Asperger Syndrome, a high functioning condition on the Autistic spectrum, who are active in any of various branches or forms of post-modern economics which reject narrow world views and excessive reliance upon mathematics are likely to feel insulted and stigmatised by this association.
