@KatyElphinstone Thank you for the link Katy and thank you so much for doing this podcast, which I've just been really pleased to listen to. I can't put into words what was going on in my brain when I played it, but the closest I can get is taking nurishment and validation 💛

@KatyElphinstone @autoperipatetikos I’m half way through and so far it’s excellent. You manage to pack so many good points in your responses!

Just a small note re ‘Wrong Planet’. The website you refer to is controversial as it has taken its name from an older coinage by Jypsy and apparently without attribution.

Here’s a copy of Jypsy’s website: https://web.archive.org/web/19990128050041/http://www.isn.net/~jypsy/

And what Dinah wrote about it (I learnt about Jypsy from Dinah): https://web.archive.org/web/20120225205234/http://www.autismusundcomputer.de/english/wrongplanetsyndrom.en.html

**Ooops... Wrong Planet! Syndrome** AUTISM-ASPERGERS-PDD

Autism Spectrum Resources, over 400 links, personal accounts, resources, foreign language resources, autism books, mailing lists, secretin, a very thorough autism site.
