2024/05/12

Hello OddlyRobbie readers,Scrolling through the news, I stumbled upon an article in Newsweek about new research on autism. I didn't get past the paywall, but the premise was enough to stir my thoughts. It's disheartening to see so much effort and funding dedicated to making us fit a "normal" that doesn’t even consider our perspectives. It’s like seeing someone try to fit a square peg into a round hole—frustrating and pointless.The Problem with "Normal"What is "normal," anyway? It's often a standard
