Featured on May 30, 2025 by 0 0: A research paper funded by the EU has cited Kiwi Farms in its description of "evil autism," recruiting susceptible autistic people for nefarious alt-right purposes.
"We rage against the eugenic logics of the structures we work in, and share our evil plans to overthrow them. We hand out some neat zine fragments from the living document."

Here’s a focused summary of "Evil Autistic Master Plan For Academia: HCI Edition" by Kay Kender and Ekat Osipova:
This paper is a battle cry for autistic academics: stop trying to be 'good,' and start being free.
- Critique of the 'Good Autistic' Narrative: The paper exposes how academia and tech sectors celebrate autistic individuals only when they conform to productivity and utility standards. This reinforces a eugenic logic that tolerates autistic people as long as they are beneficial to capitalism, denying those who don't conform the same access and support.
- Autistic Burnout and Systemic Ableism: The authors argue that autistic people often overperform to compensate for ableist expectations, leading to burnout and mental health issues. Academia's structure is fundamentally hostile to neurodivergent individuals, demanding constant masking and offering little systemic accommodation.
- Embracing 'Evil Autism' as Resistance: Through a satirical and empowering tone, the “master plan” advocates reclaiming negative labels and embracing one’s full autistic self—including perceived flaws. The authors encourage building community, setting firm boundaries, rejecting performative inclusion, and supporting each other through radical care.
- Tactical Survival and Subversion: The paper offers practical, humorous, and metal-themed advice for surviving academia, from creating sensory-safe spaces to rejecting overwork, delegating, and forming alliances with like-minded peers. These tactics aim to undermine harmful norms and build pockets of support and resistance.
- Call to Action for Systemic Change: The authors challenge the reader to reject individualistic survival strategies and instead invest in collective transformation. True care means redistributing power and resources, recognizing intersectionality, and refusing to uphold exclusionary systems. It's not about being tolerated—it's about changing the game.
