Because Hemingway was a manly SOB.

He got his first cat from a ship captain in Key West.

I am itching to talk to people about this, but I don't think it's possible to have a serious conversation about an autistic person on 4chan.

Let's stay on topic, shall we? Generally in these threads I end up adding a book or two to my reading list :)

>>513086
Does she do talks at the school at all? Have you ever had the chance to go to one?

Also, yeah, autism symptoms are pretty close to schizophrenia symptoms, whether you meant to be that intelligent in what you were saying or not. When she was a child they were still diagnosing autism as "infantile schizophrenia". Autistic people can be bizarre and offputting to anyone who doesn't have the patience to understand what's going on in their heads.

There is a huge boom in autism right now because inattentive mothers and competitive dads want an explanation for why their dumb-ass kids can't compete academically, so they throw money into the happy laps of shrinks . . . to get back diagnoses that help explain away the deficiencies of their junior morons. I don't give a [bleep] what these crackerjack whack jobs tell you - yer kid is NOT autistic. He's just stupid. Or lazy. Or both.

I enjoyed Quentin's section. Possibly the most I have ever identified with a character in literature.
