The Autistic Innovator®This is embarassing AF, but I think I have to ask everyone for help with this...
Our host for https://autistics.life has been very gracious about not shutting off our server because the bill has been unpaid for 2 weeks. They know I'm working relentlessly to get enough money to pay for it, but things are just really bad, and I mean really bad.

“Literature is probably the best way to give justice back to people who are not understood or listened to. A writer can go very deep into someone’s mind and try to put light on contradictions. And as a reader, you feel empathy and tenderness for this human being that probably in real life you would never have.”
‘Writing is exactly like love – you need to do it in the dark’: novelist Leila Slimani on why literature is erotic
Now in residence at the Madrid Prado, the author talks about its dark, inspirational Goyas, the clandestine nature of her writing – and why she finally wrote about her jailed then posthumously exonerated father
