I'm still in the habit of calling it Asperger's Syndrome. If there's a school of thought of this at all, it's just always something I've been. I've never thought of it as a disability. The depression and anxiety that came from the way others treated me when I was younger *are* a disability for me, particularly when they relapse. (Note to self: Pay attention to the warnings about thyroid disease and ephedra-containing products in the future. It seems that the interaction between the condition, thyroid disease and caffeine *causes* severe anxiety attacks.)
Well, I did download some books onto my Kindle app last night, but I think those were political texts that I thought I should read at some point. I'll probably have to download Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations" to avoid ending up on a government watch list after downloading "Anarchism and Other Essays" and "The Communist Manifesto." I'll see what I can do about getting "Neurotribes" on my Kindle app tomorrow.
I should have posted this after watching the episode, and maybe I shouldn't have posted this so close to my bed time. I was just a little surprised to see this. Some aspects of her performance were overplayed to make it clear that she wasn't "normal" whatever that may mean. I hope she's a recurring character.
