Closing the Distance: Explainable AI for Diagnosing Neurotypicality in Disability Assessors

AI machine-learning satire assessment neurotypicality

Abstract

This paper proposes a complex machine learning framework to diagnose high-risk neurotypicality in clinicians, bureaucrats, data scientists and 'innovation leaders' involved in algorithmic disability assessment. We hypothesise that the urge to algorithmically contain disabled people functions as a psychological distancing technology—allowing professionals to comply with policy without risking actual relationship. Our TabPFN-NeuroMix model outputs a Neurotypicality Proximity Avoidance Index (NPAI) with explainability via SHAP, repurposed as Shapley Ableism Partitioning.

Bureaucratic systems love numbers the way magpies love shiny things. This article presents the Court-Eve Activation Effect (CEAE): a reliable surge in administrative competence precisely one sleep before a final hearing. We also formalise the Funding-Evidence Treadmill (FET): when resolution requires government funding, action is deferred pending 'more evidence'—which means more incidents and escalated harm—until the night before court, when the evidence abruptly becomes 'compelling.'

Productivity, Pandemics and the 'Care Economy': How Disabled People Became the Scapegoats for a Global Slowdown

Commentators are increasingly blaming Australia's productivity slump on the NDIS, autistic children's therapies, and the 'care economy'. This paper commits the radical act of reading actual productivity data. We show Australia's productivity slowdown predates the NDIS by a decade and mirrors a global slowdown. COVID-19 produced a one-off productivity shock. We conclude that blaming autistic kids' OT sessions for a decades-long global productivity slowdown is methodologically unsound and ethically grotesque.

Data Over Dignity: Evidence Hierarchies in Disability Bureaucracies

Drawing on the emerging field of Reverse Pathology, we analyse how disability systems construct implicit hierarchies of evidence that privilege bureaucratically convenient data while systematically devaluing lived experience, clinical judgement, and relational knowledge. This constitutes a form of epistemic injustice against disabled people whose knowledge is deemed unreliable by virtue of who they are. What is commonly described as 'rigour' is more accurately understood as administrative self-soothing.

The Etiology of Neurotypicality: A Multidisciplinary, Low-Expectations Inquiry Into the Leading Cause of Being Born Neurotypical

Axel Andersen20 Apr 20244 pages

Neurotypicality is a highly prevalent but poorly understood condition characterised by linear thinking, form-filling behaviours, inconsistent empathy distribution, and high susceptibility to bureaucratic logic. This study presents the first formal investigation into the leading cause of being born neurotypical. Findings reveal a strong hereditary component, typically involving the unplanned reproductive activities of two neurotypical adults engaging in behaviour without fully understanding the potential societal impact.

Pollute the World, Deny the Damage, Cut the Supports

Axel Andersen AI Assisted12 Mar 20267 pages

This paper advances one of the most significant findings in Neurotypical Studies to date: the same society capable of profiting from environmental harm, denying its effects, and misreading distress as 'behaviour' will then present disabled people as the real budget problem. The pattern was never hidden—it was visible the entire time. The paper focuses on Super Autism: those hit first by environmental harm, speaking first through distress, behaviour, overload and physiological collapse, and listened to last. If a system helps create the conditions of harm, ignores the earliest signals, and then blames the harmed for the cost of surviving it—the problem is not the disabled person. The problem is the system.

The African Sex Safari Fallacy: A Neurotypical Projection Error in Disability Expenditure Discourse

Axel Andersen15 Oct 20246 pages

Public discourse surrounding disability expenditure frequently invokes images of excess, indulgence, and moral risk. Using media analysis, policy review, and comparative cognitive prioritisation modelling, we demonstrate that the 'African Sex Safari' fantasy is not rooted in disabled experience, but reflects a neurotypical projection error. Empirical indicators show disabled aspirations are overwhelmingly focused on accessibility, housing, health stability, and survival logistics.

The Administrative Danger Response: A Systems-Level Model

Axel Andersen1 Nov 20246 pages

A satirical but clinically observable model describing how Australian systems: (1) deny complexity, (2) demand simplistic fixes, (3) moralise biology as laziness, (4) blame disabled people for macroeconomic events, and (5) generate revenue streams from the resulting distress. Findings suggest ADR is self-sustaining and resistant to evidence, particularly when the evidence contains 'trigger words' such as metabolism, inflammation, disability, environment, or accountability.
