As long as we're discussing Dr. Sacks, I just read his short story (part of same-titled book) "An Anthropologist on Mars." The titles derive from Dr. Grandin Temple's perception of being high-functioning autist in academia/husbandry; she is best-known for re-designing slaughterhouse shutes, able to "see" as animals do. Her entire story left me, a spectrum-kiddo, grasping for what "real" even is. The thing that struck me as her "most unhuman" aspect [but with which I can relate, self-inflictedly]: Dr. Grandin doesn't understand most human social customs, so from a young age vowed to never enter into a romantic relationship. She considers this entirely a waste of time, and lives to work. Highly recommend Dr. Sacks many books/collections, may he RIP: [I'm just a fleshbag]: Man Who Mistook Wife for Hat [LGB / growing up]: Uncle Tungsten [Parkinsonianisms]: Awakenings
