		<title>but you don&#039;t even see me at all</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have an invisible disability. You can&#8217;t tell by looking at me that there is anything neuroatypical about me. You might guess when I speak, though I put a lot of effort and spoons into keeping the conversation going and my tone appropriate (volume sometimes escapes me, but I&#8217;m usually WNL). If you do notice [...]]]></description>

		<title>and I notice these things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really like the Aspie Teacher, and need to add her to my blogroll. I usually re-discover her blog when I&#8217;m playing on the autism hub and a new post comes up, and it&#8217;s always insightful and very helpful. I&#8217;ve been thinking about perseveration since New Year&#8217;s Eve, when I read this post by her [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#039;m telling you every day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like most days at work, I&#8217;ve been hanging out on the autism hub reading; like very few days, I&#8217;m actually responding to something I read. So, Sarah talked about self-diagnosis and the hate that seems to come with that word (or similar, like self-identifying or self-labelling). Some of what she said I found really meaningful, [...]]]></description>

		<title>long enough for me to string two words together</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;ve been working in my head on a tentative, unified theory of autism, giftedness, and extraneous diagnoses like NVLD (that&#8217;s nonverbal learning disorder, plebes) and hyperlexia. I&#8217;m working on writing it up&#8211;there&#8217;s a lot, and a lot to reference. I&#8217;m certainly not the first person to notice the overlap between these things, and there&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>hear a pin drop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Insights I have had in the past few days: 1. I really can&#8217;t skip the iron pills. I thought I was in the clear because the month that Kitty was here was like some unending meat-fest, in terms of the relative level of meat in my diet. I normally don&#8217;t get a lot of meat [...]]]></description>

		<title>gonna listen to what my mother said</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I&#8217;ve had this here blog thing less than a week, and my mom found it. I&#8217;m not sure if she&#8217;s still reading it, or if it was a one-time read-through, revlusion/horror/sadness sort of deal, because I haven&#8217;t posted since she told me&#8211;for fuck&#8217;s sake, I&#8217;d barely had a chance to make a dent in [...]]]></description>

		<title>the toys are broken</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To start, it is Prosper&#8217;s 3 month birthday according to my totally arbitrary date I gave him by counting down from how old the shelter thought he was when I adopted him and then fudging the number a bit so his birthday coincides with the date most commonly celebrated as Shakespeare&#8217;s birthday. The kitten doesn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
