• I was enjoying his writing until his Nick Drake piece which includes this:

    That they are all, convincing though the mutual backslaps and incestuousness is — suffering from a severe type of mental illness, the kind of Aspergers-delusion that in any other walk of life would require a psyche-evaluation and a recommended sabbatical for six-months to a year.

    Hate on the bland "from the heart" singer songwriters for sure, but neurodiversity =/= mental illness.

  • Aspergers-delusion

    Aside from being completely unnecessary, is that even a rational thought? Isn't [insert politically correct term for what we used to call Asperger's] characterised by an inability to mindlessly buy into the mutual delusion which facilitates neurotypical social interactions?
