It sounds like the critiques are not so much about Nick Walker saying and doing things explicitly hostile so much as being deep in an overly prescriptive, highly academic perspective and resisting criticism about how many folks get left out when that discourse happens at a high-level.
I've also been corrected that Dr. Walker prefers to think of "neuroqueering" the verb rather than a noun, though I'm not sure if that's a) true for others who have spontaneously come up with the same term or b) realistic given its widespread visibility already.
More ambivalences about self-applying the term, but now for new reasons! [sigh]
