’tis the month for new music – which, sadly, ends today…

“who you gonna call?” – graphic novel about the ghostbusters – i was very – very – disappointed – NOT the new ones – even though the new ones were on the cover – i should move on…

“neurotribes” – since i read a comic book, i really felt i needed to do something adult – actually, even though the book was 500-plus pages, i just wanted to read it – really great read – it was the story of autism – and how that story tells the story of brain development and what we know about it – basically, we’ve come in the past 20 years from only a few people being considered autistic to people – like myself – seeing autistic tendencies within themselves – b/c there’s neurodiversity within a populous and so some people are going to be different from others – one of the key takeaways i got from the book is the whole “who decides normal” in the first place – is it really bad that i don’t always make eye contact if it enables me to think more deeply on a subject that most people? and since when is eye contact considered important anyway? again, really enjoyed the book
