“Researchers measured autistic people against neurotypical expectations and called every difference a deficit. They tested empathy by measuring in-group preference and missed commitment to universal fairness. They measured creativity by counting the number of ideas and missed originality. They saw moral consistency and called it rigidity. They saw deep engagement and called it rigidity. They saw sensory richness and called it disorder.”

The Hobbit. I didn't know this existed and it's something I pined for since having seen the movies when they first came out. "A fan edit that combines Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy into a more captivating faithfully adapted single-movie experience." Not watched it yet. But sounds like its well done.

The M4 edit recuts Peter Jackson's The Hobbit film trilogy into a single movie that follows J.R.R. Tolkien's book more closely.

I honestly don’t know which makes me laugh the hardest. The fact of what the lyrics actually are or the hysterical laughter of one of the men discussing this. This is my favorite video of the year so far.🩵🦁🦁🦁🩵
