I passed along the news on Mastodon, and I removed my follow of him on Mastodon. I thought I'd share here too, since I know one or two people here have mentioned the book "Neurotribes" before.

Steve Silberman was the author of "NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity". He died this week. Even Rolling Stone magazine wrote a tribute article. Last year, he had the following to say about his eventual death.

  • "When I die, please don't say that I've crossed over into the spirit realm, gone to the Other Side, moved on to a better place, rejoined my ancestors, or any other of those comforting fables. Just selfishly or selflessly use my own impermanence to WAKE UP to your own."
