Nature Boy by Seán Ronayne, a Beautiful Story About Irish Wildlife and Why We Must Protect It

I remember it was April of this year that I first heard about Seán Ronanye, a fellow Cork man who had the audacious plan to record every birdsong in Ireland.

So, Was Einstein Autistic, And Does It Matter Anyway?

As talked about in this post, the other side of stereotyping autistic people, is positive stereotyping: https://autismneurodiversity.com/2023/07/08/the-other-side-of-stereotyping-autistic-people-we-are-not-the-friggin-x-men/ So, instead of autistic people being these unpleasant and odious characters that need to be sent away, the stereotype is that we are some sort of high priests that live on a mountain that can move things with … Continue reading So, Was Einstein Autistic, And Does It Matter Anyway? →

Autism and Bigotry

What inspired me to write this particular post was encountering a person I knew to be autistic who had bigoted views against trans and non-binary people (and possibly also gay people it wasn’t clear.)

It’s 2023, Can We Have Less Shit Language Around Autism Please?

So I was reading some articles about genetics, in preparation for a future blogpost about autism and evolution, that might prove too difficult for me and I might have to scrap it, cursing my hubris at attempting to write a blogpost that was too difficult for me.
