[ID: a twitter post with a screenshot of a Rutgers article titled, "Autistic adults experience complex emotions, a revelation that could shape better therapy strategies for neurodivergent people, says Rutgers researcher." the tweet is captioned with text reading, "I'm going to become The Joker I stg" and is quote tweeted by @/suchnerve reading, "I love getting talked about like I'm a zoo animal!" /end ID.]

#its not a great title despite the effectiveness of the research #though it may be geared toward professionals who are more likely to actually treat autistic people like zoo animals #an article i like to reference in research about autism is titled “what can we learn about autism from autistic persons?”#which takes a titling approach that appears to be geared toward not only professionals #i also like the questioning method of titling #the ragebait may have never come up if it was titled something like “exploring the complex emotions of autistic adults” or #'rutgers researcher unveils revelatiosn about autistic adults' comolex emotions that may [do what it says in the article title]'#though as both an artist and a researcher--two fields where titling is crucial--you learn the hard way that just because someone is good #at the actual subject does Not mean they are good at titling #most people are not #also this happens all the time where an article writer misconstrues research through the way they title the article #this whole problem couldve been solved if they just put 'getting autism right:' before making that statement #not to excuse the willful lack of critical thinking but also im 99% sure that the researchers themselves would not have titled an article #about their article that way
