hot take?

I think in the future we'll care a lot less about autism. I think we cared a lot less about autism in the past. And I think our whole "whoa, she's not weird she's wired different" is just another symptom of our painfully-slow escape from the Dark Ages of Mental Health wherein anybody who isn't a straight white practitioner of missionary sex on Saturday nights followed by protestant church on Sunday mornings is obviously an ICD-10 code in shoes.

there is a ton of (and growing amount of) acceptance, and even appetite for neurodiversity in the workplace. Let's hope it just gets better and better.

(and I won't say no to missionary sex on Saturday night... but I've been married a minute) ;-P
