Here's a fairly rare opportunity for an #autistic student to do a fully funded PhD on autistic listening, supervised by an autistic professor (me).

Niche, but it's going to be someone's dream. If that's you, get in touch.

@autistictic I also grew up dehydrated. And they found that the water fountains in my primary school had worrying levels of zinc.

Being autistic can be so precarious- always just one moment away from the rug being pulled out from under you.

The high functioning / low functioning binary is constructed by people who DO NOT KNOW.

I KNOW because me and my family live it. I will use this knowledge for good.

[John Hails @harmonyharmony]

@StephenTChase Thanks! I'll check them both out

[John Hails @harmonyharmony]

Unsure if the hive mind still functions like it did but I'm looking for works with similar line ups to Four Organs by Reich preferably by female or non binary composers.

Word of the day, should it be needed, is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): a love of solitude, an aversion to other people, and the desire to be left alone.
