It's hard to pin down the thesis of @jamesbridle's *Ways of Being,* out today in the US from @fsgbooks - it's a big, lyrical, strange and inspiring dive into the "more than human world" - encompassing the worldview of animals, ecosystems, and software.

At least for me, it sometimes feels like there are two different 'autisms':
1. The 'good' side... the sensitive, empathetic, original... passionate, dedicated & creative 🥰
2. The hard side - linked with traumas, disabilities, emotional difficulties, obstacles (whether personal or societal). And so on 😥
Why is this? And are the two things linked??
