So here it is. My new book

NOTORIOUS

History's bad guys from Judas to Al Capone... and how villainy like beauty very often lies in the eye of the beholder.

Notorious - out on May 22nd

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Neurotypical: "Why didn't you <X>?"
Autistic: "You didn't tell me to <X>."
N: "I don't want excuses!"
A: "Eh? I just answered your question!"
N: "You communicate badly!"
A: "What was unclear?"
N: "Don't insult me!"
A: "?!?!"

Autistics don't have Social Communication Disorder.
Neurotypicals do.

As an autistic person when I seek clarification it’s not because I’m trying to undermine you it’s because I need to understand exactly what you want me to do. Neurotypicals really don’t understand how stressful their half-arsed instructions are.

My life
The autistic urge to put things into categories and name them so that nuances are squashed and borders between concepts are clear.

So we're going to cut down trees (which we need) to make way for bottled water (which we don't). No human should be ok with this. We deserve to become extinct, frankly
