Aphrodite By Briton Rivière (1902)

"Mozart was autistic because he was a child prodigy who wrote whole pieces in a day" no Mozart was autistic because he used echolalia and always spoke the truth even though it got him violently ejected from his workplace and had no interest in marriage and had a childish personality and sense of humor and was routine-oriented and had a low frustration tolerance. the prodigy thing has almost nothing to do with it. I would like to see one scholar within my lifetime consider the posthumous diagnosis for ANY reason other than "little boy played music well." I take personal offense to the fact that despite his utter genius he's been considered immature by academics because of his mannerisms. where have I heard THAT one before?

*Though, this really only applies to more smaller tasks (such as doing the dishes). Giving very specific instructions for more complicated tasks can confuse and bewilder us more.

** And yes, ADHDers can take things literally too. Its not much of an issue for us as autistic folks though.

TIL Percy McTinsel-bud's Tinsel Machine parodies a real record by Christian-band 'Candle' in the late 70s. The music machine is described as;

"The Music Machine: (1977) A Musical Adventure Teaching the Fruit of the Spirit to All Ages is a Christian children's album by Candle. It is set in Agapeland, and teaches children about the fruit of the Holy Spirit."

Wild.

I am asexual, aromantic, and agender. I have made precisely one decision in my life, and that decision was "no".

No offense but I think some of you would be a lot happier writing a fictional atlas or encyclopedia instead of a narrative story
