Making this note to myself since my loan is about to run out!

Truthfully, I’m very disappointed at how many times the r-word is mentioned, especially when the book claims to be written by someone with autism who personally knew the people he was calling that (or more accurately, his mother. I’m not sure which is worse)

“Tom can always tell when a staffer is a newbie to the disability game. They are afraid to look at us straight on. They are not so much scared of us, Tom thinks, but they feel inadequate as to knowing what to do.”

Just learned that this book was written with FC (facilitated communication)🤢. I’m intrigued so I’ll finish it, but not happily. I’m very disappointed.

This is starting to go over my head. Why are we comparing a story from the Arabian Nights story to Neoliberalism? I just want a fun story!

I was totally thinking this was going to be a fun, light book on where the story of Aladdin emerged from. I’m currently learning about early African knowledge and white nationalism. It’s not bad- just very unexpected. Stay tuned
