@punishmenthurts @autistics "it’s the same conversation I have with everyone."

I think you are insincere. Give me the name of the person who is quoting #EvaBerger books about #Autism to me - you seem really incredibly #AntiBook except your favorite chalace one.

I quote a book from January 2022 and you say it's the same conversation you get from everyone. Reductive.

NONFICTION BOOK QUOTE FOLLOWS

Year 1988, #BillMoyers Power of Myth book:

Joseph Campbell affirmed life as adventure. “To hell with it,” he said, after his university adviser tried to hold him to a narrow academic curriculum. He gave up on the pursuit of a doctorate and went instead into the woods to read. He continued all his life to read books about the world: anthropology, biology, philosophy, art, history, religion. And he continued to remind others that one sure path into the world runs along the printed page. A few days after his death, I received a letter from one of his former students who now helps to edit a major magazine. Hearing of the series on which I had been working with Campbell, she wrote to share how this man’s “cyclone of energy blew across all the intellectual possibilities” of the students who sat “breathless in his classroom” at Sarah Lawrence College. “While all of us listened spellbound,” she wrote, “we did stagger under the weight of his weekly reading assignments. Finally, one of our number stood up and confronted him (Sarah Lawrence style), saying: ‘I am taking three other courses, you know. All of them assigned reading, you know. How do you expect me to complete all this in a week?’ Campbell just laughed and said, ‘I’m astonished you tried. You have the rest of your life to do the reading.’ ”

She concluded, “And I still haven’t finished—the never ending example of his life and work.”
