Autism – The cultural immune system of human societies
— Read on neuroclastic.com/2020/04/30/autism-the-cultural-immune-system-of-human-societies/
There are some brilliant articles being written right now about what it is to be autistic in a neuro typical society.
In my self-isolation due to Covid-19, the house has been cleaned and re-cleaned to a point of sterilization. Between cleanings, I’ve been reading, …
I know the feeling because today I vacuumed the house, did some more laundry, dishes and weeding. I also wrote a couple articles which will turn up in the next couple days and called a couple people since physical distancing is good but social distancing is not.
This article is about an amazing book I have read about autism and this is one of the best descriptions I have come across. It’s certainly the best from someone who isn’t personally on the autism spectrum themselves.

Here is some Greek phrases to analyse while I address some personal issues that prevent me from actively blogging at the moment.

A very well known musician that I came across earlier but didn’t think to reblog then. I totally should have but better late than never.
He is featured heavily in the Rebetika book that I wrote about previously and he is in the Victoria Hislop books I have also written about.
He is part of my Greek musicians series :-

Iannis Xenakis is a man who invented stochastic music and many other things that I’ve never even heard of but sounded cool.

This is a list of all the blogs that I have so far reblogged because I keep being invited to blogging awards but frankly I don’t have the time to fill these out. I’m very sorry and I hope this appeases you all.

Here is a list of SA posts that I have previously shared and since they generally have good posts I frequently get tempted to share them.
The first is an ancient Lefkás poet Sappho and the only woman too unless you count the wife of Angelos Sikelianos, Eva. For my series on Lefkadian poets check here :-
An article on different styles of writing and why you might perhaps want to use one over the other.
Why you should indulge in this hobby.

For the longest time I had an irrational fear of offending people with my language skills. To this day I don’t speak if I can get away with it. This is due to my childhood but also many subsequent incidents. However, this does not mean I am incapable of speech or that I don’t understand other people when they speak. I’m slowly overcoming all of my childhood fears about being inadequate and growing into the adult I’m meant to be. If I can do it then surely everyone else can also accomplish all that they set out to do. It just takes time and patience as well as hard work. These are not always around in a great abundance. Therefore we have to make the most of the resources we have. With the desire to change you can achieve much more than just having the talent for something. Attitude and motivation are key factors here.
This is inspired by one of Bogdan ‘s many questions on the blog over at Pointless Overthinking . You should check out the daily question that turns up about 6pm. It may vary where you are but it’s always at the same time without fail. It’s one of the constants of blogging here on WordPress along with several articles by Cristian Mihai as he does have 4 blogs.

A post that is a little easier to digest than some of the others that I have posted this week.
Eli writes some good posts on a variety of topics but I don’t think a lot of people get to see them. Therefore I’m doing my bit so that more people learn from her wisdom.
Hope you all had a good week

I love reading these posts about the Ancient Greek literature as you get the real deal. It’s not lost any authenticity due to translation so it’s the closest you can get to being in Ancient Greece itself.
Have you read any works of literature in the original language?

This is another blogger who has some quality posts to read. This is again long but worthy of your attention when you get the time.
I’ve only just come across this blogger but I’m sure there will be many more posts that will interest me in the future.
