My friend Dorothy clued me in to Dan Piraro's wonderful blog post (which, at the time, had an oddly familiar title!) in which the cartoonist talks about the strengths of neurodivergent minds and how doodling helps some of us listen better. To find his blog post, (since retitled) CLICK HERE. One of my own legal doodles (the only thing to keep me awake and listening during a partner meeting) is reproduced below.
When I was diagnosed as autistic at age sixty-five, my whole life and my career as a product liability attorney made sense for the first time. This blog, and my book, My So-Called Disorder: Autism, Exploding Trucks, and the Big Daddy of Rock and Roll, celebrate the strengths of autistic people and our value to any human endeavor.
