I don’t come here often, but feel I must celebrate and spread this well-deserved and long overdue gutting of Malcolm Gladwell. Brilliant, ebullient knife work and wordplay by @AnandWrites. Carry on! https://t.co/kyegan9hhQ

So sorry and sad that @stevesilberman, a great friend to me and so many — millions, really — has left us. Funny as hell, endless empathy, smarts, love, courage, and sweetness. One of a kind. Hugs to all his loved ones, esp @WardQNormal.

Terry Gross of @nprfreshair is the best interviewer in the business. The transcript of my 2015 interview with Terry about my history of #autism and #neurodiversity, #NeuroTribes, is archived here. It was an honor to talk to her. https://t.co/hMK4nhvaRY
