"Last update before review: p.170 Something round and dirty and white was resting near my foot. It was a skull, I picked it up. “Is that you, Nicholas?” I asked. “Put that down, Peter,” said Nightingale. “You don’t know where it’s been.”" — Jul 12, 2012 06:51AM

Martha Herbert is a pediatric neurologist at Harvard, and an incredibly gifted thinker and doer in the autism research and treatment community. This book is new and current, and I just learned about it today.

I have started reading it, and will have more to say soon. It appears to be very well-written - in the plain-spoken style, and with the paradigm-shifting intellect and expertise that I was privileged to witness first-hand.

I would recommend a close look at this, if you are dealing with autism or ASD among your family or friends, or you just want to learn more about the issues.

You can learn more about the author at her website. Or you can just Google 'Martha Herbert' and find many links to interviews, publications, etc.

"Many doctors believe, like Ana’s Dr. Cosford, that autism, chronic fatigue, and a variety of other chronic illnesses all involve a deterioration of the biological systems that help us cope with the environment. To Cosford and others, the autism is not a “thing” or “specific disease” but the way the brain and body behave when their cells are having a hard time." — Jul 08, 2012 06:04AM

“I’m done with all the stupid shit. I’m done with politicians, the rich taxing the poor. I’m done with organised religions, profiting off their prophets. I’m done with pop culture, making everything consumable. I’m done, I’m done, I’m done”
― Timothy Decker

“Wendy is still dead. I hadn't understood before: it really doesn't bring them back. Somehow, you think, despite what you know, it will be a trade. Find the person who did the wrong thing and they will suffer instead of the one who was killed. Instead, that person just suffers too.”
― Mariah Fredericks, The Girl in the Park

“I'm not absolutely certain of my facts, but I rather fancy it's Shakespeare -- or, if not, it's some equally brainy lad -- who says that it's always just when a chappie is feeling particularly top-hole, and more than usually braced with things in general that Fate sneaks up behind him with a bit of lead piping.”
― P.G. Wodehouse, My Man Jeeves

“[...] everything has a narrative, really, and if you can’t understand a story and relate to it, figure out how you fit inside it, you’re not really alive at all.”
― Catherynne M. Valente, Silently and Very Fast

“I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.”
― Plato, The Republic
