things that happen when you make eye contact with an autistic person:

- you catch the autism

Any time I see somebody who has the same 150 tabs open at all times, I immediately learn two things about them:

In time Le Guin came to agree with this criticism; she considered her decision not to take things further one of her biggest literary regrets, stating that "I am haunted and bedeviled by the matter of the pronouns."

I tell you this only because the phrase "I am haunted and bedeviled by the matter of the pronouns" is one I think about a lot.
