Very welcome

you just know its the Ayn Rand collection
This is an information diet of cornflakes, dog vomit and some books of questionable value
Theyβre such a joyless bunch of gobshites.

referred to as camouflaging in academic writing. Did another edit pass. Did use two LLMs ChatGPT and Claude to look at what I'd written and see if I'd missed anything. Did some ordering changes. Then fired up my blog which involved resetting my account, changing the theme and upgrading loads of 3/4
and also based a chunk of the argument off the piece I wrote in the Gist last year www.thegist.ie/guest-gist-e... and going back over some sections of Empires of Normailty by Robert Chapman (one of the most underlined books I own). I aslo went down some rabbit holes (I didn't know Masking is 2/4

I read (a lot) and my kids read a fair bit through school. I never understood this dress up as your favourite character bit. Bring in a favourite book. Get people to swap books. Give out comics and graphic novels. All things that will encourage reading....
I think sheβs well intended and incredibly dismissive of an awful lot of autistic people. Iβll come back with some specific points of criticism later when Iβm not in the car.
