So I think about aspd a lot, the nature of things (natural cycles of mind and world) and aspd within that. Observations show clearly that aspd is diagnosed when empathy sways the other way, particularly in cases where an individual is capable of altering their behaviour and for whatever reasons decides not to empathise with others as a primary focus (if incapable, tagged autistic / aspergers / apd). I've come to a loose theoretical conclusion, though I've no idea how true it is, that these things are variations on a theme and differences are likely something to do with the manner body (unconscious processes) presents the [data] questions to mind (conscious process).

On a lighter note I finally got to the end Season 1 of Dear White People - and I'd just like to say fuck yeah, that's an interesting idea for structure! (Oh and a bunch of obvious things about colourism and people being equal-ly fucked up regardless of race/gender/sexuality/personality/IQ/etc). It's been said that an ensemble cast gives a significantly wider scope for story telling, well it appears that script [directing, acing etc] takes on leaps like technology and wow this one's a Hubble. Genius. Great idea. In fan fiction [and novels, though more rarely] the switching POV has been used to ..simulate time passage, as route to give a story depth of world, to play off characers, etc.. Either I haven't seen it or it's not been used like this in tv.. uh, ever.. A shifting focus (Avengers) rather than a static protagonist (Breaking Bad) sure.. but an actual POV change chapter by chapter, I love it!

And in other news, Platypus caught her first bird yesterday morning... obviously I feed the birds... these little ones nested in our eaves.. I was a little upset.. may have screamed and scared the shit out of everyone. Little bird was completely fine, not a scratch on her. Bless Platypus she brought us a pristine dinner and was kept inside and played with for her troubles most of the day. About an hour later we took the bird outside and I heard her* singing for the dawn a little while ago - she's well and seems happy - *bit of an assumption but there are three of them and I heard three little birds so :) yay!

This little earworm gets a chance every morning:
