"Is it surprising that prisons resemble factories, schools, barracks, hospitals, which all resemble prisons?” ― Michel Foucault.

I don't think the title of this post actually represents the article or what it discusses. The article focuses on autistic mothers of autistic children not just mothers of autistic children in general.

To me, its a massive distinction to make as an autistic mother will likely understand her autistic child's way of being way better at an intuitive level compared to a non-autistic mother or a social worker who will be trying to understand another person with a neurological makeup that's very different to their own.

Is this quote poorly worded or am I having a stroke?

Maybe you’re just not understanding the meaning

He’s saying it shouldn’t be surprising that prisons resemble factories, schools, barracks, and hospitals. It’s just worded strangely, he says they resemble one another twice in a row, basically. Just worded strangely to me.

"These things look like those things, those things look like these things."

I think sometimes English is weird.

It’s been a while but I’m pretty sure I could figure out how to say that word for word in Spanish. You’re blaming the language when you should be blaming the person

Niemand spricht Spanisch.
