Here's a Washington Post obituary for Steve Silberman, author of NeuroTribes (and a friend of mine). www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2...

Steve Silberman, journalist who explored autism’s history, dies at 66

He wrote about the developmental condition in “NeuroTribes,” a 2015 bestseller that promoted understanding and acceptance of people who think differently.

So sorry for your loss - loved his social media and his work 💙

Necrosis Tribes gave me a far deeper understanding of my son than any of the therapists. Thank you, Steve, and rest in peace

Sorry for your loss, Carl

Thanks for the links, both of them showed how many dimensions Steve had, I really had no idea. I didn't know Steve personally but I followed him here in Bluesky as one of those members who gave a fresh, generous dose of sanity daily and I looked forward to his posts and am sad he's gone so suddenly.
