very nice
like a morning after or boxing day for april fools

as a lifelong unaware assburger myself
til a recent revelation
i dont know whether to rejoice or protest
hahaha

true awareness seems like a good idea tho

so i suppose if they just dropped all the talk of syndromes & disorders etc etc
& instead just celebrated autism as an alternative reality
then it would indeed be a step in the direction of everyones land

but our dear turtle bay country club
like conventional reality in general
has a long way to go before ever getting close to everyones land

still
very nice

in fact lets celebrate everyone & everything too

also marian
as an irregular visitor
i am delighted to see you signing the articles now
as i had a hunch it was you here all along

Thank you, aletheia, for this. Autism, it now seems, is a spectrum far broader than originally construed — as you say, an alternative reality.
