Lou Sanders on her stepdad, drinking, and staying positive - from RHLSTP Book Club 73

[@PaintballMagazine]

Lou just says what she feels, like a delayed filter and that's what makes her awesome 😂

[@solitaryman777]

Richard mentioned it at 6:42: "a free spirit stomped on by reality, but you haven't got crushed by it". Tenacity and resilience are so important. I like her comic persona of being a practiced free spirit, seemingly listening intently to her whimsical side, and acting decisively on it. She must've been a handful growing up.

Why can’t you say Asperger’s now?

[@PeterMoore66]

From Wikipedia: "Some researchers have argued that AS can be viewed as a different cognitive style, not a disorder, and that it should be removed from the standard Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, much as homosexuality was removed. (In 2013 Asperger Syndrome was indeed eliminated as a separate diagnosis in DSM-5." Also, Asperger did a lot of his work under the Nazi regime, so some believe that the work is tainted by that association.

[@King-Kazma]

Asperger was an Austrian, who first described the condition in 1944. He signed his letters at the time with a salute to the Nazi leader. His clinic sent children to be euthanised. Apart from that, ASD has 120+ identified genes, so has a far more complex variety of symptoms and presentations than a single ‘syndrome’. If individuals identify with Asperger’s, that is fine. But other people shouldn’t use that term to describe people with ASD.

[@Sam-lr9oi]

@@King-Kazma you may well know, but Grunya Sukhareva in the USSR observed, described, and advocated for autistic kids, publishing on them in the late 20s. Her work was also translated to German immediately but not in English until the 90s, so it's even possible Asperger had read her work.
