What am I supposed to do with this, Sky?
Somehow I feel like a shut-in if I stay home too much.
I have to go out into the world to be alone with my book.
Sometimes there is nobody else out in public.
Fanfarlo - De.con.struc.ion
Journal of Best Practices
by David Finch
from a This American Life story (full audio here)Kristen Finch was a speech therapist who sometimes worked with kids with Asperger Syndrome, symptoms of which include emotional distance, inflexibility and missing social cues. Kristin and her co-workers often joked that all their husbands had Asperger's, since the symptoms overlap with stereotypically male personality traits. But then Kristen wondered—what if it was actually true for her husband Dave? The quiz that Dave Finch took to determine whether he had Aspergers can be found online (note: it's not an official diagnostic tool). Dave wrote a book about this experience, called The Journal of Best Practices. (15 1/2 minutes)
