question

         What is deranged in a deranged world?

asked in 1933 as Holodomor was taking place in Ukraine

the Soviet state denied it

as 1619 is being denied in America today

as many in the South insist the Civil War wasnt fought over slavery

women shouldnt have autonomy over their bodies

                    The Constitution of the United States should give way for a Unitary Executive

deranged

                        We should suffer a white patriarchal theocracy

STOP woudya stop a moment.

What? upset he interrupted

   Just a moment

                      Youre the third person in two days whos mentioned spectrum in conversation First time I thought they meant Spectre misheard the organisational nemesis of Bondwent down a rabbithole  I didnt think to ask for clarification timely so I skipped it it was mentioned in passing

Then last night my daughter mentions it  Is tha a thing I asked She laughed Papa. Whenever you think to ask if something is a thing, it’s a thing, awright? She explained it although more specifically as autism Evidently there are other clinical avenues disorders considered in kind

Now you

            Thank you for extending me a moment to explain

stuffed their upset  You’re welcome.

                                       Hadn’t heard of it before?

No Ive not  Been around years I understand

Minimum of ten I’d guess, at least in regards to autism, longer otherwise. I think it was first used to describe schizophrenia.

Schizoid

Yes.

Knew of it however not in terms of spectrum

Curious you were they stumbled You were . .

. . Ignorant You can say I was   However when things arent in ones wheelhouse theyre not confronted ignorance is easy

“Serena (a Down’s baby) didn’t have an extra chromosome, it was us, the normal ones, who were lacking the added spark. Would I could have held on to that moment, if I could have just sampled the energy for a little longer. I’d no longer need oblivion. Such knowledge is shocking, and few can handle it with care. I was even less able than I’d have imagined.”  pg130  Ken Bruen  The Killing of the Tinkers
