All the while 'experts' (and all too many parents, it has to be said) perceive autism as a 'mental condition' and continue looking for a 'cure' it is going to remain a problem.
But then, they used to perceive being trans in the same way (and some still do)............

Date: 2021-04-28 12:53 pm (UTC)I love the idea of 3d printed houses but I worry that it's not going to live up to my hopes of quick, good and cheap housing.
Well!

Date: 2021-04-28 04:41 pm (UTC)I've been in an old Blackhouse on Lewis (I think). It was part of a housing museum which had a few Blackhouses and a Whitehouse i.e. a 1930's council house, known as a Whitehouse because the external render was white.
The Blackhouse was very neat in construction but I'd not want to live in one very long.
I'm also reminded of the one of Andrew's recent-ish posts about a mudbrick city that is decaying. I think in Syria.

Date: 2021-04-29 08:45 pm (UTC)Anyhoo - I want to know how rain-proof it is. I'd like more windows. And closets/cupboards - want lots.
And squicky thought: clay doesn't usually have earthworms in it, but other things live in the mud. After being 3D printed, how long will their decomposition be nostrilly detectable?
