Viewing Post from: The Crazy Lady and The Baker Man
I am a baker, writer, reader, artist, dancer, cook and suicide survivor. I have recently become a member of the cyclothymia community and plan on keeping myself even-keeled with food, words and yoga. I am not religious in any way, but find the idea of patron saints comforting. So I have mine, Saint Dymphna, the patron saint of mental illness and happy families, and Saint Honore, the patron saint of bakers and pastry chefs. They are my crazy lady and my baker man. Join me and my saints as we plan vegetarian meals, write for kids, practice yoga and try to be happy.

Interesting article---never thought of linking scientific minds to the autism spectrum. Reading the comments was a little crazy in itself. It's difficult to define anything and people get so worked up about exactness. It fits, common sense, right? Not sure about how to define the whole evolutionary survival of traits though? (Noel)
