the devil’s in the details

I always mean to blog more than I actually do. So consider this a new year’s list of things I would like to explore, maybe not now, but definitely at some point:

• learning Auslan. I’d love to work on another language, and Auslan seems like it would have both practical benefits and potential long-term academic benefits.
• study what research there is for auditory processing issues and autism (see above long-term academic benefits)
• study what research there is for gender and queerness in autism
• begin designing a reliable screening tool for autistic adults
• write more scientific critiques of existing research. This is something I’ve always meant to do and never managed to get around to it. I think the exercise would be good for my brain.
• write more book reviews. There are a lot of books I read and love, and I never talk about them.

Maybe the solution is to try to blog at least weekly; when I set this goal I usually can keep it for a month or two before forgetting. I’ll just have to try. Consider this more of a note to self than a note to anyone else.

ETA: Additional note to self: link between pvwml and autism or loss of language. Potential neurological marker?
