I’m Autistic, and Autism Doesn’t Exist

Person with face obscured by shadow holding a phone with a picture of himself. Speech bubble says,

Quick piece of advice: don’t read a book debunking the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) a month after you’ve been diagnosed with autism.

Heather’s Quotes

“It’s fashionable these days to pooh-pooh the Golden Age crime novel as trivial and unrealistic, but that was not the case at all. It was their stand against chaos. The conflicts were intimate, rather than global, and justice, order and retribution always prevailed. They desperately needed that reassurance. Did you know that Britain lost nearly a third of its young men between 1914 and 1918? Yet that war didn’t physically threaten us in the same way as the next—it stayed safely on the European Front.”
― Deborah Crombie, Leave the Grave Green

“But if you read Christie or Allingham or Sayers, the detective always got his man. And you’ll notice that the detective always operated outside the system—the stories expressed a comforting belief in the validity of individual action.”
― Deborah Crombie, Leave the Grave Green
