Excellent neurodiversity article!
Key points:
- Autism may be a disability but is NOT a flaw
- Disabled people can have rich, meaningful lives and are in no way lesser
- Needs can be unique to the individual
- “Different” is a good thing
- Don’t shame those who can’t work

Just been reminded of this excellent Scientific American mythbuster about neurodiversity.
'"When we talk about “not pathologizing autism,” we don’t mean “pretending autistic people don’t have impairments.” But we also don’t assume that neurological and behavioral differences are always problems.'

It's my personal opinion that everyone needs to watch "V is for Vendetta" the similarities between this dystopian world and what is happening in america and the world right now is insane. WATCH. IT. (or read it) and think about how you want to proceed in this imminent revolution.

Can we make libraries and bookstores the place to be again? Even if to read digitally. They should be up there with getting groceries, exercising, house cleaning, and gym. Schedule self-exploration time at your local library and bookstores. #booksky #librariesfirst #reading #selfdiscovery

DO NOT give your money to Jeff Bezos. He has plenty. Make a list of the books you want to buy as gifts and buy or order from a local bookstore...if you want those stores to continue to exist.
