hurt people hurt people is hard to remember when you're the people being hurt by the hurt people

Translation:
it's hard to remember that someone you love is hurting you because of their own hurt and not because you're a shit person who deserves it

Translation:
humans are clumsy and sometimes your mental illness stuff crashes against my mental illness stuff in spiky and painful ways

Translation:
shit is hard

I love this sign outside My Small World, a toyshop in #Bath, UK 💖 My #autistic daughter (aged 21 🥰) cried when she saw it.

We need more businesses, especially ones likely to attract #neurodiverse children and adults, to be this welcoming.

I’ve been laughing at this for nearly an hour. Anytime I look at it, I laugh out loud.

Comic strip of a person laying in bed. Their brain asking an intrusive question: “can cow swim?” The person responds “I don’t know, probably not.” they pretend to fall asleep and attempt not to care. The final panel is them frantically searching on their phone.

Rick Osborne reviewed The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion (Don Tillman, #1)

Graeme Simsion, Dan O'Grady: The Rosie Project (AudiobookFormat, 2014, Simon & Schuster)

An international sensation, this hilarious, feel-good novel is narrated by an oddly charming and socially …

I am far too close to the subject matter to review this objectively

4 stars

3½⭐️/5 (fine, but some quite significant issues)

On the one hand, yay for autism rep in romance, and yay for making the POV MC the autistic one.

On the other hand, making that autistic MC also a buffoon of the “unemotional nerd” stereotype is … a choice, I guess? One could argue that he’s just not interested in engaging in society’s judgment of his differences. And that’s a valid read. But it’s not a particularly positive stereotype, and yet it’s also the stalking horse of the entire story.

There are parts of the autistic POV MC’s experience to which I could absolutely relate. I can’t flat-out say it’s an unrealistic representation. An effort was made?

So … YMMV, I guess.
