“People know what they do; frequently they know why they do what they do; but what they don't know is the impact achieved by what they do.”
Michel #Foucault in "Histoire de la #folie à l'âge classique" (a history of insanity in the Classical Age)

Autism is an illegible feature
"How disabling it is depends as much on your social circumstances as it does on your symptoms."
"It turns out that, actually, most people are uncomfortable around social difference and get considerably less comfortable when you point it out."

“I don’t feel that it is necessary to know exactly what I am. The main interest in life and work is to become someone else that you were not in the beginning. If you knew when you began a book what you would say at the end, do you think that you would have the courage to write it?
"What is true for writing and for love relationships is true also for life. The game is worthwhile insofar as we don’t know where it will end.”
― Michel Foucault

Thanks to #Descartes, "the danger of #insanity has disappeared from the very exercise of reason. #Reason is entrenched in full self-possession where it can encounter no other traps than error, no other dangers than illusion. Descartes' doubt banishes #madness in the name of the doubter [...].
Madness is now exiled.
